VISITING STUDENTS AND AUDITION ROTATIONS

​

Medical students can rotate with our program for an audition rotation. Prospective emergency medicine applicants will be able to experience the day-to-day of work in a busy suburban emergency department and work closely with faculty and residents in caring for a complex population with high morbidity.

​​

The Franciscan system does not currently accept medical students through VSAS. Please email franciscanemstudent@gmail.com to receive the application. It will be a first come-first serve process after all materials are received and reviewed.

 

We are only accepting 4 students per block. Not all students (despite openings/materials received) will be granted an audition rotation.

​

Audition students will be required to attend residency didactics every Wednesday morning as well as present once to the residency during their rotation and complete the SAEM exam at the end of the month. (The SAEM does not replace the COMAT that is required by some schools.)
