Elective Course Catalog

Cleveland Clinic offers elective rotations in many specialty areas to students who have completed their core clinical rotations and are in their final year of medical school. We do not accept applications for the months of July (unless otherwise noted, please view academic calendar below to see areas available in July) and December. International rotations are currently very limited. Please refer to the course description via course catalog for each rotation of interest for more information.
