Medical Students
Externships (Sub-I visits)
OHSU offers a senior medical student rotation ("externship" or "Sub-I") for both visiting and OHSU students with a serious interest in a career in neurological surgery and a history of academic excellence. Rotations are generally for 4 weeks and include participation in the clinical service, attendance at conferences, and other educational opportunities. Applications should be made simultaneously via OHSU's neurological surgery Education Team and the OHSU School of Medicine. A Sub-I rotation does not guarantee an interview spot. Sub-Is should signal OHSU if they are interested in an interview spot.
Instructions for application completion can be located at the OHSU School of Medicine's Visiting Students web site.
