Elective Application Process

Students Studying at International Schools

International Medical Student electives are offered from September to May only

Students must be enrolled in the final year of medical studies at the time of the elective.
All elective requests 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.
Request must include a list of personal education objectives and if applicable the education objectives as set down by your university.
If we are able to accommodate this elective, you will be required to complete a formal application through Dalhousie University before final approval is granted.

We offer no remuneration or financial aid for electives
