Visiting International Students

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill accepts a very limited number of foreign medical students into clinical electives during each academic year, August through June. You must be in your final year of medical school when you arrive at UNC for your elective. A maximum visit length of 8 weeks (two consecutive elective periods) is allowed.

The visiting international student program is currently under review and changes are expected. Information regarding elective spaces and requirements will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
