Description

Join us for the next talk in our series on how to get the most out of orthopaedics at Medical School. We will be discussing all things elective: why orthopaedics, where some of the committee went in the summer (Lauren in Australia, Hetta in South Africa, Rahul in Sri Lanka and staying more local with Joe in Cambridge), what we did there, our honest opinions on our trips and give you advice about how to get the most out of your elective experience.

We will also touch upon planning, funding and any answer any other questions you might have so please bring questions along with you!

We will also give our details out at the end for anyone who is interested or has further questions.
