The Jewish Medical Association (UK) student scholarship programme is a
major part of our activities.

The Association continues to support the former British Fellowship of
the Israel Medical Association scheme, which aims to foster links
between all UK medical schools, and medical students, with Israeli
medicine.

· The scheme is advertised to all medical schools at the start of the
academic year.

· All UK medical students are eligible for these awards.

· 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.

· On completion of the elective a written report is required.

· Students may also be selected to give an oral presentation on their
experiences to members of the Association.

· Students are placed on the mailing list and are expected to maintain
contact and if appropriate to become full members of the Association on
graduation

In addition to this scheme, occasional ad hoc scholarships have been
awarded to students doing specific courses (e.g. Medical Ethics), and
monies have been allocated as a hardship fund to facilitate wider
participation in medical student Israel tours.
