The Medicine Visiting Clerkship Program (MVCP) is sponsored by the University of Chicago, Department of Medicine’s Diversity Committee. This program provides support for fourth-year minority (African American, Native American, and Hispanic American) medical students to participate in internal medicine rotations through the Pritzker Medical School, Visiting Student Program.

The MVCP is designed to:

• Enhance student awareness of opportunities in academic medicine
• Encourage students to consider a career in academic internal medicine
• To increase the number of minority students applying to the University of Chicago’s Medicine training programs

Clerkships are four to five weeks in length (calendar months) and are available, space permitting, to full-time fourth-year students in good standing at LCME accredited US medical schools. MVCP participants are assigned a faculty advisor and offered opportunities to network with other University of Chicago faculty, house staff and students.

Financial assistance (up to $350) is available toward transportation costs to and from Chicago. Financial support for housing on or near the University of Chicago campus (Hyde Park) is also available.
