Visiting medical students

The University of Minnesota welcomes visiting students, as capacity allows, who are interested in learning more about our specialty and program. A VSAS application is required. Visit the Medical School’s Visiting Students page for more information.

International medical students

International medical students are usually not accepted unless a formal agreement exists between their medical school and the University of Minnesota Medical School.

Medical schools that have a majority of U.S. citizens as students are not considered international medical schools by the University of Minnesota Medical School.
