Elective Catalog
All available rotations are listed in the VSLO Electives Catalog.
When will the 2025 electives catalog be posted in VSLO? January 6, 2025
When will applications for 2025 open in VSLO? February 10, 2025
The VSLO application portal will be opened at approximately 10:00am Central Standard Time. The portal must be opened manually, so 10:00am CST is only an estimate.
What about 2026? Catalogs for 2026 will be posted in January 2026.
Elective availability changes rapidly once applications open. The Electives Office strives to update the VSLO catalog as quickly as possible, but please be aware that listed availability will not always be accurate, especially in the first few months after applications open.
