Medical Elective

The Medical Electives Programme at the UWI Mona seeks to offer comprehensive opportunities for study and research, enriching students' understanding and proficiency in clinical practice across diverse medical disciplines. This unique initiative is designed for qualified students currently in their clinical years of study at recognized medical schools. By participating in the Medical Electives Programme, students gain hands-on experience, allowing them to further develop their clinical management skills and broaden their exposure to various medical specialties. This program is tailored to provide a dynamic and immersive educational experience, fostering the growth and expertise of future healthcare professionals.

The Medical Electives Programme is typically open from April to August each year. This provides a strategic window for students to engage in immersive study and research experiences. Select placements may be facilitated outside of this window upon request. To ensure seamless participation, prospective participants are advised to submit their applications at least four months in advance of their intended elective start dates. This timeline is crucial for effective coordination and planning, ensuring a smooth and well-organized experience for all participants.
