Applications from Osteopathic Students

Visiting student applications are accepted from students in good standing at osteopathic schools of medicine accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). Applications for the 2011-2012 academic year will be accepted according to the following schedule.

• Inquiries will not be processed before May 2, 2011.
• Students will be notified by the visiting student coordinator within 4 weeks if space is available.
• Your placement in a rotation will not be finalized until all required documents and a $50.00 processing fee are received by our office.

Applications are submitted after you have been confirmed for a rotation.

Faxed applications are not accepted. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Availability of rotations cannot be confirmed by telephone. Students are instructed not to call or email individual departments or faculty. ALL elective requests must be scheduled through the visiting student coordinator (externships@llu.edu), and must conform to the scheduled elective dates available.

Below are links to the application form, and information regarding electives available at Loma Linda University. LLU requires a criminal background check on all visiting students. If your application is accepted and you have not had a criminal background check completed in the past two years, we will provide you with the necessary additional information. Students will not be allowed to begin a rotation until the criminal background check has been completed and verified. Rotations in all pediatric specialties require a COMLEX score of 500 or greater.

All applications must be received at least 8 weeks prior to the start of the requested rotation. No application will be considered if received less than 7 days prior to the requested start date. A non-refundable $50.00 processing fee in the form of cashier's check or money order must be attached to the application.
