Visiting Students
Students who are not base clerkship students of a Henry Ford Health location must use VSLO to apply for rotations. All necessary requirements are the same for each hospital and are listed on the website. Please make sure you are applying for the correct location as the VSLO system does not let us interchange applications once they are made to a particular place. Please click here to be taken to the VSLO site.
