We offer a variety of four-week elective clinical rotations at hospitals and clinical settings across our system.
Our medical student education programs offer the benefits of learning within a large integrated health system. Our hospitals boast clinical expertise in many areas, including:
- stroke care

- trauma
- obstetrics and neonatology
- advanced surgical treatments

You must be a third- or fourth-year medical student attending an accredited medical school in the U.S. to be considered for an elective rotation.
We use a standard version of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Uniform Clinical Training Affiliation Agreement personalized for WellSpan Health.
