The University of Plymouth has secured £17,500 to support fourth-year medical students as they undertake their medical electives.
Medical electives - short-term clinical placements which take place in the latter stages of medical school throughout the UK - are considered a highlight in the journey of medical training.
Students choose the subject matter and location, enabling them to foster both professional growth and holistic personal development - but some students may feel they have to limit their choices as they are unable to cover associated costs.
Now funding from charitable organisations the Vandervell Trust (£7,500) and The Hospital Saturday Fund (HSF) (£10,000), has enabled Plymouth students to realise more opportunities, and not be constrained by geography or financial circumstances.
