As a fourth-year student, you'll have the exciting opportunity to explore advanced surgical techniques and learn from distinguished faculty who are leaders in the field of neurosurgery. Your involvement in innovative research will not only enhance your education but also contribute to the advancement of neurosurgical practices. USF fosters a collaborative environment that empowers you to develop into a leader, well-prepared to address complex neurological conditions with compassion, expertise, and precision. To facilitate your experience, USF utilizes the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) for managing applications from visiting students. For detailed information about the application requirements for the Morsani College of Medicine's VSLO program, we encourage you to visit the Office of the Registrar's page.

When searching for the neurosurgery elective, please be sure to use the institutional name 'USF Health Morsani'.

Please note, completion of a sub-internship rotation is encouraged, but not a requirement to match with our program. We understand that you can only complete so many rotations in your fourth year. We will give every applicant full consideration, regardless of whether he/she completed a sub-internship with our program. By the same token, completion of a sub-internship does not automatically secure an invitation to interview down the road.
