Riassunto

The Medic's Guide to Work and Electives Around the World is a must for any medical student planning a medical elective or junior doctors wanting to travel or work abroad. Covering 100 destinations (including the UK), the guide offers a unique insight into what it is like to study and practise Medicine in different countries. The author gives useful information on which hospitals to visit, their areas of specialism and practical information such as when to go, accommodation and who to contact.
As well as country-by-country information, the book contains general chapters covering information on planning an elective, career advice related to taking time out from Medicine, occupational travel health, HIV and blood-borne diseases, and funding an elective.
Covering electives as wide ranging as research for NASA, working with the Flying Doctors or climbing with mountain rescue teams, 'The Medics Guide to Work and Electives Around the World' includes country maps throughout and is the perfect companion to whatever elective you choose.
