Guest Kirsteen Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi there, Calling all current medical students or recent graduates who have undertaken international electives in developed countries... If I gain entry to medical school, I'd be interested in pursuing some international electives in the developed world, e.g., the US, Europe, Scandinavia and/or Japan. One of my pals in the UK did this for her electives and found it to be a highly worthwhile experience as she managed to work within a huge facility that specialized in her intended area of practice (Obs/Gyn). I know at least a few of you have completed electives in countries of the developed world and I'm wondering if you could possibly share some of your thoughts. Here are a few areas about which I'm curious: 1) Where did you complete your elective and what elective was it, e.g., Obs/Gyn, general surgery, etc.? 2) Was language a barrier at all if English was not the first language of that country? 3) Did you see anything that you felt you wouldn't have seen or experienced in a similar elective within your medical school's facilities? 4) Were you given a decent amount of hands-on experience to increase your clinical skills? Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Wong Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Floating back to the top... A lot of these threads appear to be pretty decimated after the June 2005 hacking attack on EZBoard. Still, I've restored these threads so if you have a similar question, you can reply to these threads and hopefully someone will answer you!
