We offer elective rotations for medical students in their final or penultimate year of their medical degree.
MEDICAL ELECTIVE rotationS FOR STUDENTS
Peter Mac Medical Elective placements are available in Surgery, Medicine, Radiation Oncology, Cancer Imaging, Palliative Care, Psychiatry/Psycho-Oncology, as well as in the Haematology service.
An Elective placement will involve joining the activities of the Unit (as deemed appropriate by the Head of each Unit). Generally this would include “shadowing” of the Resident/Registrar, attendance at unit activities (ward rounds, outpatient’s sessions and unit meetings) and hospital educational activities.
Electives are offered for 4 or 6-week rotations.
