Other Learners

Current University of Minnesota medical students who are interested in doing research with our department can find more information on our medical students page or by emailing [email protected]. Unfortunately, we do not accept outside applicants to our research projects at this time.

Shadowing provides the opportunity to observe an anesthesiologist in order to better understand the specialty. Current University of Minnesota medical students who are interested in the field of anesthesiology may place a shadowing request by emailing [email protected]. Please note that our shadowing availability is extremely limited and requestors will be placed on a waiting list with no guarantee of a shadowing experience. We are unable to accept non-University of Minnesota shadowing requests.

The University of Minnesota, and thus the Department of Anesthesiology, only uses the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) system to receive visiting student communications and applications.

• To apply to our institution, including the Department of Anesthesiology, please complete the application in the VSLO system.
• Per University policy, please do not send elective requests or communications directly to the Department of Anesthesiology office or personnel; all communications must be received via the VSLO system.
• Opportunities for away rotations within the Department of Anesthesiology are extremely limited and are often not offered; if no opportunities are listed in VSLO then we do not have availability. We do not have a list of anticipated openings as these are dependent upon current student enrollment.
• For more information, please visit the University of Minnesota Medical School's Visiting Students site.
