McMaster University, Hamilton (Canada)
Outgoing USydMP students to McMaster University (Dec 2007 - Feb 2008)
Up to two University of Sydney students may be nominated for elective clinical placements at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The best months for these are January and February and placements are usually for up to eight weeks duration (two four week specialty attachments). McMaster have recently limited the number of elective placements offered and will only accept those students nominated under this scheme. Additional placements will not be possible and students should not contact McMaster directly.
The next round of placements for December 2008-February 2009 will be advertised early in 2008 via a bulletin. It will be open to all students regardless of clinical school and country of origin.
Information about available electives at McMaster can be found on their website
Tuition fees are waived under the agreement. Travel and living expenses must be borne by students and students will need to find their own accommodation.
