Are there opportunities for electives outside the BUSM system? What about international electives?
• Most of the 4th year of the curriculum is elective clinical time and students have broad flexibility in choosing rotations outside the BU system. In addition, Dr. Suzanne Sarfaty, Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs and Director of the Office for Enrichment Programs, has responsibility for our international elective program, assisting students in securing electives all over the world. This program is considered a national model, has been replicated at other schools, and there is no cap on the number of students who can participate. Limited funding is available to defer part of the cost of international electives for some students.
