AMECA
The AMECA Medical Elective Bursary Awards:
It is our belief that students who have the opportunity to undertake medical electives in Third World countries, emerge as better doctors and nurses with improved clinical skills. The range and scope of clinical practice undertaken on such electives is normally way beyond anything they might hope to experience in the UK, resulting in improved patient communication, diagnostics and overall confidence.

Review: Health risks for students on overseas placements
Abstract:
Health profession students are encouraged to take an elective during training and many do this overseas in tropical, low-income countries. Higher education institutions should offer advice and support on organising these placements but this varies and students may present for pre-travel health advice at their general practice or travel clinic. This article discusses how they should be advised.

The Electives Network
TEN was founded in the UK in 2001 when Gordon Hamilton, then a medical student, wanted to organize his own elective “with a difference” and found himself with few options. He saw a need for a centralised online database, where medical students from all medical schools across the world would be able to access up-to-date and comprehensive information. And so TEN was born.
We are a one-stop shop where you can come to find all the assistance you should need with planning your elective. We strive to bring you the most current and accurate information we can at all times.
