Applying for elective
in Obstetrics and Gynecology

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology welcomes students for fourth year electives.

The electives run from the first of the month to the end of the month. Student Affairs does not release visiting student applications to departments until UT-Houston students’ schedules are finalized at the end of May and/or all the required application documents are received. The Student Affairs office will notify students if space is available in the time period requested. If possible, students should give two choices of dates and/or electives.

Students may view all of the electives offered in the catalog on the web link below. The instructions for requesting an application are in the catalog:
