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 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.

* By definition students should be on the Jewish Medical Association
mailing list already, and are expected to maintain contact and
become full members on graduation.
