  • Ontario Medical students must have completed a core rotation in the discipline for which they are applying in accordance with the policies of the Visiting Student Electives Program at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.
  • All electives must be a minimum of four weeks in order to be eligible for funding assistance with travel and accommodation. Students can apply for several electives of a minimum of two weeks, either in one community or in numerous communities.
  • We will do our best to match you with a preceptor that has similar interests.  Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
