Medical Student Program

We are delighted you have expressed interest or have chosen to apply for a visiting rotation at Providence Portland Medical Center!

International Students: Unfortunately, we are unable to offer International Students visiting rotations for the 2024-2025 Academic Year.

U.S LCME accredited and osteopathic medical school students: Medical students from U.S. LCME accredited schools and U.S. osteopathic medical schools may apply for a rotation.

Fourth Year Rotations: We offer the following rotations for fourth year medical students who will have completed their required third-year core clerkships:

• Medicine Acting Intern
• ICU Acting Intern
• Infectious Disease Elective (schedule available in Apr/May)

Core Clerkship Rotation: We have limited Medicine core rotations, but welcome third year students to apply if we have an opening that accommodates your schedule.

Clinical Experience: Medical students are integrated into the day-to-day workflow, educational rounds, and conferences of their ward teams. Specific mentorship is provided on their written and orally presented cases. Additional student-specific teaching sessions are provided by the medical education faculty, the Chief Resident and the hospitalist clinician educator faculty. An emphasis on learning, feedback, and practical experience is a key element of the clinical experience at PPMC.
