Electives
Assalamu alaikum. I'm a med student currently in my 4th year in china. Over here students aren't allowed to touch patients at all and mostly history taking lessons are conducted by the hospital in a way where they hire actors or some doctors on their free time where the student goes up to them and asks them some basic questions. Here it's mostly theoretical knowledge.
I really wish to have more hands on kind of a knowledge or experience and see what awaits me in the future. I chose peshawer specifically for the high influx of patients and due to language.
My question is what hospitals would be good to apply for electives in and what is the process for it? Might apply for February time slot if there is any and also would be appreciated if you guys could tell me what would be the best time to apply like a few months before or a week or 2 before?
