2023 UCSF VISITING ELECTIVE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM (VESP) APPLICATION

Because the UCSF Visiting Program will be accepting applications via the VSLO program, the Visiting Elective Program (VESP) will be resuming for the 2023 - 2024 cycle. Some departments may not be offering visiting in-person electives and only offering a virtual program (fill out the Virtual VESP Application if you are interested in that, and you will be notified).



If you are applying for an elective in Emergency Medicine, General Surgery, Radiology, or Urology DO NOT APPLY HERE. See below for a link to their separate respective scholarship programs.
