Medical Student Electives

Eight bursaries of up to £600 each to support Medical Student Electives, or exceptionally Student Selected Components, on issues in medical ethics.

Medical students, jointly with their supervisor, are invited to apply by February 19^th 2010. On reflection we have decided to extend this deadline (initially January 31^st). Successful applicants will now be informed by April 7^th 2010 rather than March 31^st 2010. The BMA website provides a 'toolkit' that can be helpful for ethics and medical electives in resource-poor countries.

Medical Student Internships

Three bursaries of up to £600 each to support Medical Ethics Internships.
