Message from the VSLO Team
Dear VSLO Colleagues,
We were delighted to meet with many of you last week at the AAMC 2025 Group on Educational Affairs (GEA)-Group on Student Affairs (GSA)-Organization of Student Representatives (OSR) Central and Northeast Regional Conferences, as well as at the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine and American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Annual Conferences.
As you know, we are in the most active weeks of the away rotation season. We are keeping a close eye on application data and look forward to sharing additional information with you and your teams as we identify trends and final numbers. We expect to see levels of activity in the VSLO system similar to the previous away rotation season.
The VSLO team will also be attending the 2025 GEA/GSA/OSR Southern and Western Regional Conferences, the Association for Hospital Medical Education Institute conference, and the American Medical Student Association convention this month. We look forward to these opportunities to connect with you and your students!
Thank you,
The VSLO Team
