Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS

The Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS) is a brand-new Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) application for 4th year clinical away electives. This service includes a searchable database of electives, a short application, the ability to pay application fees online, and tracking of offers and schedules.

VSAS launches its pilot year in April 2008 with 10 schools accepting applications through this software. The following schools will use VSAS to receive applications during the 2008-09 pilot year. If you wish to apply to any of these schools, you will need to use VSAS to submit your application(s) to them.

• Boston University

• Oregon Health & Science University
• University of California, Irvine
• University of Kansas
