St George’s offers a wide range of Medical Elective placements in a number of different clinical specialties. If you are interested in applying for a placement at St George’s, please read through the information listed below carefully.

How long are Medical Elective placements?

The placements offered by St George’s are four weeks in duration. Unfortunately, we do not offer placements that exceed four weeks in duration. These placements cannot be split between different specialties or dates; therefore if you choose to apply you will only be able to submit one request for a four week period.  Please note that placements must commence at the start of the month and conclude at the end of the same month, e.g. 2 January 2012 to 27 January 2012. Other requests for dates cannot be accommodated.
