Affiliated Hospitals

Our affiliated teaching hospitals

UMHS has established affiliations with more than 26 teaching hospitals throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada, where our students complete their core rotations. We continue to expand our core clinical affiliations and are negotiating with additional teaching hospitals in various states. Hundreds of hospitals throughout the United States are also available for electives.

• Damas Hospital (Ponce)
• St. Luke Episcopal Medical Center (Ponce)
• Manati Medical Center (Manati)
• Mayaguez Medical Center (Mayaguez)
• Auxilio Mutuo Hospital (San Juan)
• Hospital La Concepcion (San German)

Non-affiliated hospitals for electives

Students can complete their senior-year electives at an affiliated or non-affiliated hospital throughout the United States. Most teaching hospitals allow visiting students to rotate with approval from both the hospital and the medical school. Thousands of hospitals are available for electives. Rotating for electives is a great opportunity to gain experience at some of the best hospitals in the United States. We urge students to rotate at hospitals they are considering for a residency, as it allows students to learn more about the hospital and network with key administrators and preceptors.
