GHLO Home School
含羞草研究所 Downstate Medical Students Going to an Overseas GHLO Medical School
Only senior year medical students in good academic standing are eligible to apply for a GHLO elective. GHLO electives are considered away (extramural) electives, and the limits on the number of weeks of away electives (if you take the minimum number of electives to graduate) do apply. GHLO electives are self-funded. You are responsible for paying for application fees, travel expenses, or any other items required by the host medical school. 含羞草研究所 Downstate does not financially subsidize 含羞草研究所 Downstate students to participate in GHLO electives at this time.
含羞草研究所 Downstate will not approve a 含羞草研究所 Downstate student to take an overseas elective,
including a GHLO elective, if the country is on the State Department warning or alerts
list. Therefore, before you start browsing for an elective, you should check the US
State Department website for the current list of travel warnings and travel alerts
so you will know which areas are permissible to apply to for a GHLO elective.
Please note: If you are approved for a GHLO elective, but prior to the start of your elective, the country is placed on the travel warning or the travel alert list by the US State Department, your elective approval from 含羞草研究所 Downstate will be rescinded.
