Important Reminders:

  • Students are responsible for ensuring they are properly onboarded at hospital sites before starting an elective rotation. For information about the onboarding requirements at major Indianapolis hospital sites, please see this resource page: https://medicine.iu.edu/mse/education/hospital-onboarding
  • 30 days-notice to the registrar and primary elective contacts (admin and director) is required to add or drop an elective. When dropping a course, you must notify your Lead Advisor, the Registrar, the Course Director, and the Course Admin. Automatic notifications DO NOT occur via our systems

Planning electives based on career specialty interest:

The IUSM Mentoring and Advising Program provides an excellent guide for each specialty. This highly recommended guide includes recommendations for electives based on your specialty interest. For unique situations and other questions, please talk with your career faculty advisor and Lead Advisor.

Students select from five categories of electives:

  • Clinical Practice Electives
    Students develop patient care skills and familiarity with the fundamental principles of practicing in a particular specialty.
  • Advanced Clinical Electives
    Students actively participate in a robust clinical experience as an integrated member of a healthcare team. These electives also allow for reflection on professional development and career pathways.
  • Advanced Science Research Electives
    Students pursue a review or scholarly research experience in the biomedical sciences and explore its relevance in clinical medicine.
  • Professional Development Electives
    Students develop knowledge and skills outside of the traditional medical school curriculum that advance their success in medical practice
  • Special Electives
    Students can pursue unique opportunities that are available outside of the IUSM electives catalog. These require advance discussion and planning with your advisors and the Medical Student Education office. A Special Elective Proposal Form must be completed in order to enroll in a Special Elective course.
