RVUCOM Clinical Education
For the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine at Rocky Vista University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (RVUCOM), clinical externship sites are located primarily in Colorado and Utah, with a few satellite externship sites in Arizona, Nebraska, Nevada, and California. Externship slots are determined by lottery during the second year.
The externship site assignment list is issued to students prior to beginning externships each year. All regional assignments are considered final. A student may request to change their assigned externship 90 days prior to the start of the externship; however, there is no guarantee that the change will be possible. Any questions or concerns should be directed to the Office of Clinical Education.

RVUCOM Clerkships
Clinical Clerkships (Elective)
The remaining elective clerkships, required to meet credit hours, are requested by the student and arranged in conjunction with the 4th year clinical coordinators, at the approval of the Office of Clinical Education, to complete students’ preparation for residency training. Elective Clerkship sites are credentialed through the Office of Clinical Education where state authorization has been granted or not required by a particular state, as RVU is not currently a member of the NC-SARA (State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement).
Sub-Internship/Audition Clerkships
Students are required to complete clinical and didactic training that best prepares them for residency. During the first half of the 4th year (OMS IV), students are required to complete a minimum of two sub-internship/audition clerkships at residency programs. The clerkships chosen must have the approval of the Associate Dean for Clinical Educations or designee.
Students may also pursue research projects and global medicine experiences, with approval of the Associate Dean of Clinical Education or designee.
