During the Cornell/MSKCC Neurosurgical Elective, students spend three weeks at Cornell and rotate for one-week to MSKCC. Please refer to Cornell Web site for course description. Please note that only 4th/final year students are eligible to rotate to MSKCC.
There is a dual application process for this elective. In addition to submitting an application to Cornell, US/Canadian students must complete the MSKCC on-line application and submit all supplemental application documentation as instructed. International students must submit all application documentation applicable to international students. Students DO NOT need to send an additional application fee to MSKCC. All applications are reviewed by MSKCC. There is a possibility that an applicant will not be accepted for the one-week rotation at MSKCC. In these rare cases, the student will be able to spend four weeks at Cornell. MSKCC will notifiy both the student and the Cornell Office of Academic Affairs of an acceptance decision.
