Actively enrolled students are eligible to take away electives during their MS4 year. Away electives — also called visiting electives — are short-term courses typically offered at teaching hospitals that are either a AAMC-member institution or have at least one Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or American Osteopathic Association (AOA)-accredited program. An away elective may count for up to four weeks of elective credit toward graduation requirements. We process all away requests through VSLO. Please contact our Education Coordinator Path-educ@uabmc.edu if you have addional questions.
