Elective

This is an opportunity to practice medicine anywhere in the world for two months during the applicant’s clinical years. Electives range from running outreach clinics in developing countries to accompanying flying doctors in Australia. Applicants may wish to spend time working on a research project (there is often funding for this). Some students find time to travel for a few weeks after their elective. In general, however, the elective is self-funded so many students prefer to remain in the UK.
