Stanford OHNS Visiting Clerkship Department Pre-approval Application


Thank you for your interest in Stanford OHNS Clerkship Programs! Please check your eligibility before completing this application form.


Please note that your application with us is for pre-approval purpose only. The pre-approved applicants still need to submit their official application to our SOM's Office of Medical Student Affairs after receiving a pre-approval from the department (the window for submitting SOM's official application for each quarter is/will be published on the Visiting Clerkship Website). Thus, the deadline for department pre-approval application each quarter is the Friday before the window opens for SOM's official application (e.g., if SOM's official application window for the Summer quarter periods opens on Monday, March 25, then the department pre-approval deadline would be Friday, March 22).


Due to the high volume of applications and limited slots for Summer periods, please understand that not all applicants will be granted a slot in our clerkships (Stanford students have higher priority for the clerkship slots). Our Department will review all applications the first few weeks after the pre-approval application deadline and all decisions will be sent out at least a week before the official application deadline.


We suggest you submit your official application after you hear back from us on your pre-approval status (though you should prepare all the required official application materials while waiting for the pre-approval result). Please refer to the visiting clerkship website on how to submit your official application through the Office of Medical Student Affairs.


**Note on the Stanford Clinical Opportunity for Residency Experience (SCORE) Program**:


We encourage those eligible to apply through our SOM's Stanford Clinical Opportunity for Residency Experience (SCORE) Program, a funded program directly through SOM with no need of separate pre-approval process (though please do notify Xiaoyu if you plan to apply through SCORE program). Please check the SCORE website for more information.
