Electives & Observerships
Year 1 and 2 Electives (observerships) in Family Medicine are an excellent way to get a first hand look at the spectrum of illness in the community and to see the role of family physicians in the health care system. The timing of your elective can be very flexible and worked out between you and the physician.
These electives can take place in London, or one of the surrounding communities. As a guideline, we suggest that you participate for a half day a week for a total of 4 to 12 hours depending on interest. Students are given the option to arrange their own family medicine electives directly, or they can contact the Program Coordinator to assist in finding an appropriate physician.
If you arrange an elective in Family Medicine, please report your preceptor and dates to the Program Coordinator. It is very important that Family Medicine is aware of your elective so that payment can be received by your preceptor.
