The Visiting Student Elective Scholarship Program (VSESP)
The Larner College of Medicine believes that a strategic investment in diversifying and mentoring the pool of potential residents will help build a strong pipeline for future residents, fellows and faculty. The Visiting Student Elective Scholarship Program (VSESP), 
sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and faculty at the University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC) provide scholarships for fourth-year medical students from groups underrepresented and under-served in the field of medicine in the state of Vermont.
VSESP is designed to:
• Increase awareness of opportunities in academic medicine in Vermont for medical students who are members of groups that are underrepresented and under-served in medicine;
• Provide clinical exposure within UVMMC during a month long elective;
• Provide $2,500 to defray costs related to the visiting clerkship;
• Diversify the pool of residents potentially making a positive impact on the future diversity of our fellows and faculty
Eligible students include fourth-year medical students in good standing who are enrolled in a U.S. LCME accredited allopathic and osteopathic institution (enrolled in a medical degree granting program) and who are members of groups that are underrepresented and under-served in medicine in the state of Vermont.
