I am heading into final year this summer and have split my elective time up. For half of the elective I will be doing 3 weeks of cardiothoracic surgery in Malta. As a UK student going to a different country it means I will only have an observational role on this elective. What advice would you give to ensure I get the most out of this experience?

Hi, Prof. Lotto and Jones, Thank you very much for the interesting talk. For my current medical programme, I'm doing 2 years preclinical and 4 years of MD. As a 2nd year preclinical student, should I just email professors/doctors in my university and nearby trusts if I want to get started in research?

Apart from Bristol, is there any other places where medical students can intercalate into a MSc/MRes and carry out a research project related to CT surgery?
