national Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Getting back to the original questions (what electives to do for FM). Lots of good suggestions, but I really feel you get a lot more quality experience by doing family medicine electives, particularly in rural and remote areas. Seeing a red eye in optho clinic and seeing a red eye in a coastal clinic in Nunavut are different beasts. A good comprehensive rural practice will give you exposure to all of the areas already mentioned, with a family medicine (i.e. "practical") twist to them. If you do your electives with hospital based GPs, they will often arrange for you to spend days with other services depending on your interests (iCU, anaesthesia, OR, ortho, whatever). Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
