Elective Rotation Request

Henry Ford Genesys Hospital has affiliation agreements set up with many Medical Schools allowing their students to rotate with us. Please check the list to make sure your school is on the list. If you would like to rotate at Genesys and your school is not on the list, please email stopoli1@hfhs.org.

Due to high demand, visiting students are limited to (2 ) two rotations or (8) eight weeks of rotations per academic year. Visiting students are able to do two types of rotations: Elective or Audition. The difference is that an audition rotation is a rotation where the student is planning on applying to the specific program for residency. Audition rotations are anytime from May to January depending upon the program. During that time frame, elective rotations are not permitted in the specific programs. Some rotations only allow auditioning students.

Scheduling Process

1. Verify your school is affiliated with Henry Ford Genesys Hospital on the list below (contact stopoli1@hfhs.org if it is not).
2. Submit an online request. The request is only for elective rotations - this request will not be considered for an audition rotation. VSLO will NOT be used for elective requests. You must submit a request via the website for an elective rotation. You will be contacted as soon as possible. Elective rotation requests are accepted starting January 2, 2025 until April 27, 2025 for elective rotations starting from January 13, 2025 until May 25, 2025. These dates may change if the program is accepting audition rotations during this time frame.
3. The rotation will be scheduled based upon availability and availability is very limited. Once you receive your rotation confirmation after scheduling, you must contact your school to provide the required documentation. All communication regarding the rotation will be done by email.
4. If you need help with housing, there is a community housing list available prior to the start of the rotation.
5. The week prior to the rotation, you will begin receiving emails re: documents and orientation times. Information submitted for the rotation will not be reviewed until the week before the start of the rotation.
6. Certain rotations have required reading prior to starting the rotation. This will be emailed to you the week before.
7. The first day of the rotation, you will be scheduled for orientation, a tour of the hospital and computer training. Depending upon the number of students, it should take approximately 3 hours.
8. On your last day of the rotation, you are required to complete a checkout sheet and return your badge, and any required paperwork to the security office. You are also required to return your scrubs to the scrub return machine.
