Pilot year launched April 2008!

VSAS is a brand-new AAMC application designed to make it easier for medical students to apply for senior electives at other U.S. medical schools. This service requires students to submit just one application for all schools, effectively reducing paperwork, miscommunication, and time for students and school staff.

Who will use VSAS?

During the pilot year, 10 U.S. schools will exclusively use VSAS to accept elective applications. All other U.S. schools will continue to use their own application system. Any student enrolled at a U.S. medical school applying to these 10 pilot host schools will use VSAS.

Schools whose students use VSAS will also use VSAS to support these students' applications.

International and Osteopathic Students

VSAS is not yet available for international or osteopathic student use. Please use the Extramural Electives Compendium (EEC) for visiting student application information.
