Your medical elective should be an experience of a lifetime!
As part of your training, you have a four-to-eight week window to travel anywhere in the world and get some clinical experience in any medical field that interests you.
If you do want to make a difference or want to practise medicine with only your medical knowledge and your stethoscope, then volunteering in an overseas hospital or clinic is the way to go.
But where do you start when trying to plan such a trip?
Approaching a medical elective is like anything else in medicine; it requires research. And in terms of researching medical electives, this book is your 'go to' text.
Karin Eurell is a professional organiser of electives. She has learnt by trial and error what is essential, and what isn't.
Anatomy of an Awesome Medical Elective guides you through each of the critical questions that must be answered for you to make the most of your overseas elective.
