Visiting Students
Introduction
Medical students from other medical schools who are in their final year may participate in fourth-year electives at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria. Eligible students may apply for a maximum of 8 weeks of elective experience at UICOMP.
There is no application fee from UICOMP for students from domestic schools to enroll in electives at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria. International students pay no tuition, but must pay the $300 application fee, which is non-refundable. Students must provide their own lab coat.
We are not able to offer housing to our visiting students at this time. Upon request, a list of optional housing can be forwarded to the visiting student.
No student will be assured placement prior to UICOMP receiving all application components and elective rotation availability is confirmed. Please note: elective rotation availability is subject to change.
