  • Currently enrolled in an LCME or AOA accredited medical school
  • In their final year of training at the time they will be rotating at the School of Medicine and Public Health

The Department of Emergency Medicine does not accept international visiting students, per UW SMPH policy. There are no exceptions to these criteria.

Scholarship Support
For Students from Disadvantaged Backgrounds

Students are welcome to apply for both rotation scholarships; however, recipients will be selected for only one award. We’re happy to answer any questions and talk through which opportunity might be the best fit for you — please feel free to reach out at nrhagen@medicine.wisc.edu.
