4th Year Elective Requirements for Urology Visiting Student Rotations

on Medical Education (LCME). To find out if your medical school is LCME accredited, you may go to website http://www.lcme.org/.
Students must mail the following items to:

2. Medical school transcript and USMLE Step 1 scores or equivalent,

5. Letter of recommendation from their urology advisor.
Once these items are received, they are reviewed by Dr. Culley Carson, Program Director and Dr. Raj Pruthi, Director of Resident Education. The applicant is informed via email (copy to UNC Student Affairs Office) of acceptance as soon as a decision is made. If the applicant is approved for a rotation, he or she must contact the UNC's Student Affairs Office, 919-843-7095 for an application to the Medical School. Out of state applicants are required to pay a $50 applications fee to the School of Medicine. All requests must be received by May 1.
Due to the popularity of this rotation, we are only able to accommodate two visiting students per rotation. We will accept more than two visiting students if space is available after UNC's drop/add dates.
The Student Affairs Office will confirm placement in a rotation after the appropriate application process has been completed and the rotation dates have been approved.
