In support of our educational mission, Memorial Sloan Kettering faculty provide clinical and research electives to visiting students.

If you have any questions about our program or application procedures, please see our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Students who don’t meet the criteria for a clinical elective may apply for an observership. Please see the observership page for more details.
