The Faculty Education Office (Medicine), St Mary’s Campus, administers the
School of Medicine Elective Awards, annually.

The application process is now open to all medical students whose elective falls within the period April to June 2014.

Purpose of Awards
These awards are provided to support medical students in undertaking their medical elective; students who consider themselves eligible under the categories listed below are strongly advised to submit an application.

Does the Elective have to be confirmed before I can apply for an Award?
Students planning projects or whose electives have not been confirmed can submit an application with confirmation to follow. Please give detailed information regarding project proposals, details of the stage of planning that your elective has reached and when you expect the project and/or elective to be confirmed.

When are Awards determined?
Awards are made at a meeting of the School of Medicine Elective Awards Group in April. There is a great deal of competition for awards and students should not make elective plans in expectation of an award. The decision of the Elective Awards Group is final, and there is no right of appeal.

Awards given to successful applicants will be processed in advanced of the designated elective period. Applicants who do not subsequently undertake there elective during this time, or whose elective changes significantly from their original proposal for which their award was given, may need to return their award, if requested to do so.

Types of Award
There are three main types of award and students may apply for one, two or all three categories if they wish:

A. Contribution to the life of the School of Medicinedetails and forms
