elective programs

[Probin]

I am jus wondering if any of the 3rd or 4th year medical students ever inquired in doing their clinical rotations or taking electives abroad. I jus found out that few schools don't require USMLE part 1 for joining rotation or taking electives in the US, however they do require for the residency

[Doctor]

Its everything from travel expenses and the lodging fooding and sometime institute charge you for elective too especially in Nepal.

[azureskye33]

they will charge you for everything: u will have to make your own travel arrangements; you will finance everything from boarding lodging, local transportation and of course, the tuition. tuition depends on the institution where u want to do elective.

here are few of the medical schools in New York , VA, and CT, that accepts foreign medical students for their electives program, i am going to a US medical school (university of Colorado health science center) this friday for a visit, please give me some ideas that i can talk to the administer, i will talk about establishing a foreign exchange or electives program and transfer of school with them i will keep u guys updated regarding this

Well, sorry I am too late to reply here. Probin has certainly started rounds. I know very limited things on medical education in the states. For which I guess Azu is expert. If money factor is an obstacle, europe would be cheaper than states as you can save more than 600 euro in flight ticket .Sofar as Germany is concerned, there are no tuition fee. Chances are high to get elective, but not internship. The latter requires equivalent test and is a hard process. Of course you have to pay travel expenses, living and lodging. Basic german knowledge is helpful but not compulsory. Doctors use to explain everything in english. But you can hardly communicate with all patients without german language. However most of them understand and can deal with english. Detail
A guy from IOM has already done his placement in heidelberg uni, YOu can ask him for detail : http://www.studentbmj.com/international/inter3/user/pager2.php?opt=3a&sel=Germany&sel3=17&sel2=Nepal
