All elective rotations in the directory are approved on a first come/first served basis and are coordinated through the Center for Educational Development and Support (CEDS). Personal transportation is the responsibility of the student, and is required for all elective rotations, since travel between LVHHN's three campuses may be necessary. The following prerequisites must be met before a request will be considered:

* Student must be in good academic standing with their medical school.

* Student must be in the fourth year of medical school, having completed all clerkships required by their school.

* Student must be fully covered by liability or malpractice insurance through their medical school.

* Student must be covered by personal health insurance through their medical school or submit documentation of alternate coverage with the elective application.

If all the above conditions have been met, students may submit a request for an elective, preferably by email, with their name, medical school and year, elective being requested and rotation dates to the address below. CEDS will notify the student of the approval by email and/or telephone.

CEDS will forward an "Elective Application" to the student by email for completion. Applications must be returned to CEDS, along with written approval from the student's medical school, prior to the start date of the rotation. An application has been included at the end of this directory.

An email notice regarding CEDS orientation, housing and check-in procedures will be sent to the student one week prior to the start date of the rotation. Housing is available in the School of Nursing of the 17th and Chew Street campus and also in the Anderson Wing of the Cedar Crest & I-78 campus. Housing assignments are determined by the availability of beds at the time of the scheduled rotation and are pre-assigned for the current academic year.
