Diversity in Pediatrics Visiting Student Elective Award

The Diversity in Pediatrics Visiting Student Elective Award supports 3rd and 4th year medical students with funding, mentorship, networking, and academic exposure during a pediatrics rotation at the University of Minnesota. The program is designed for students with demonstrated service to underserved communities and those interested in pediatric residency, with particular encouragement for students from historically excluded racial and ethnic minority backgrounds. Funding is provided to reduce financial barriers to accessing clinical experiences outside students' primary institutions. Applications go through the AAMC's VSLO service, which charges its own application fee.
