CMC Vellore 2011 Attachment
Hi all!
Coming off another year of medicine, how would you like to spend 2 weeks of your summer vacation in India? SMSV has managed to clinch an excellent opportunity for 10 SMSV members to spend 2 weeks on a hospital attachment in The Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore, India. This is a rare opportunity to experience healthcare provision in a different healthcare system. Spend 2 weeks in outpatient clinics, shadowing doctors on ward rounds, attending bedside clinical teachings, academic sessions (tutorials, lectures) and OT sessions in your selected department of interest! CMC is offering attachment opportunities in obstetrics and gynaecology, internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, cardiology and dermatology. Alternatively, take up the rare opportunity to compare rural healthcare in Australia with that in India with the Community Health and Rural Health department!
This attachment is targeted mainly towards pre-clinical year students, as it would serve as a good opportunity to revise and practice your clinical skills, while maintaining an observatory role to learn more about clinical practice before heading into the hospitals in year 3. Post-attachment activities every other night include patient case presentations, as well as a discussion of the selected case to facilitate learning. For the year 1s, this would provide a glimpse into the year 2 syllabus, as introduced and taught by the year 2s, and for the year 2s, a chance to revise and improve on concepts.
Details of the attachment:
Duration: 12/12/11—23/12/11
Number of pre-clinical students: 10
Estimated cost: AUD900 *price subject to change, depending on air ticket pricing
Application for the attachment is based on a first-come-first-served basis, so hurry and apply for the attachment!
Thank you for applying and we will get back to you as soon as we have selected the 10 successful applicants.
