Elective Application Process

Students Studying at Canadian Universities

The Medical Education Department will provide formal written notification of approval/denial of the elective requested.

Dalhousie student’s elective requests in Saint John must be made directly to the Department of Medical Education.
Direct contact with a department does not constitute acceptance of the elective.
Requests must be received in writing at least three months in advance.
Requests must include a list of personal education objectives and if applicable the education objectives as set down by your university.
If you are attending a Canadian Medical School outside of Dalhousie University or Memorial University you will be required to apply through the AFMC Elective Portal: https://www.afmcstudentportal.ca/
Medical students will be required to register with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick.

We offer no remuneration or financial aid for elective
