MD Visiting student opportunities

Hi All,

I'm new to the med student world and considering visiting student opportunities to take electives at other institutions. I would like to learn more about how it works in terms of:

(a) competitiveness--Do you have to meet some kind of competitive criteria, or is it pretty likely that any average 4th year student who wants to can do it?​

(b) cost--Are you paying their cost on top of your own med school's cost? Is there a way to deduct that from what you're paying at the home institution, since you won't be there?​

Thanks kindly.

...also, it seems that schools offer electives that I'm not seeing show up when I browse the AAMC's VSAS website. What's up with that? Would be nice if I didn't have to visit each school's website individually to do my initial browsing 🙂
