Medical Student Elective Rotations

CMH welcomes medical students for elective rotations. This page provides vital information for students and medical school staff.

General student guidelines include:

• You must be currently enrolled in an accredited M.D. or D.O. program.
• CMH must have an affiliation agreement with your institution on file. If we do not have an agreement with your institution, contact Bailey Abeyta at bailey.abeyta@citizensmemorial.com to start the process.
• Rotation dates are flexible to fit your specific needs. Submit your application at least six months before your needed start date.

You must apply for an elective rotation. Elective placement is made based on a combination of candidate qualifications, physician availability and timeliness of application. Required items are:

1. Completed Application. This form is completed for each rotation that you request to complete at CMH.
2. Signed Attestation Agreement (To be signed by the student AND the physician/practitioner that both agree to complete the rotation).
3. Letter of good standing from your medical school.
4. Current certificate(s) or declaration(s) of insurance.
5. Copy of Criminal Background Check (No more than one year old).
6. Proof of completed fit test and supply of personal N95 masks. (If proof is not provided, the student will be excluded from airborne precautions and COVID-19 patients).
