Elective Reviews

The purpose of the “Electives” section of the RCSIsmj is to provide a forum for exchanging anecdotes and stories derived from the medical elective experience. The section will include short pieces (750 word limit for each) showing the diversity of electives.

Pieces can describe electives in the context of an amusing incident, or getting to know new people or cultures. Alternately, pieces can offer insight and advice gained from the elective experience. Students should include where and when the pertinent elective was completed.

The submission of one or two high quality photographs along with your elective piece is strongly encouraged.
