The Jewish Medical Association (UK) supports scholarships for student electives for those students who participate in JMA(UK) and / or in Jewish student activities.
These scholarships are for international electives.
The successful students are expected to provide evidence of linkage of the elective plan, either to the Jewish community in the host country or to Jewish-related activities there.
Applications
Applications are invited on a rolling basis as the timing of electives varies considerably between medical schools.
Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a covering letter explaining the nature of the elective, documentation of approval from the student’s medical school for the elective programme, and documentation from the host teaching hospital / medical school that the student has been accepted.
Please contact info@jewishmedicalassociationuk.org if you have any queries about an application.

- A completed hardcopy of the application should also be sent to Jewish Medical Association (UK) PO Box 38278 London NW3 4YG.
