Elective Opportunity Notables
Secretary
We have received the following information about an opportunity to undertake a medical elective in Sri Lanka:
I am Dr Asoka Thenabadu, a Consultant Paediatrician of Sri Lankan origin based in the UK for the past 35 years. I Live in Epsom, Surrey and currently semi retired to Sri Lanka.
I have set up an exciting and a well structured elective programme in Sri Lanka for medical students who wish to do their elective overseas. I will be grateful for making this information available for medical students please.
At present we arrange electives at a 1041 bed semi Government hospital which is located in the suburbs of Colombo and one of the best equipped private hospitals in Central Colombo. These hospitals have a high patient turnover and offers all specialties. They also have committed consultants, highly trained Registrars and SHOs who are keen to teach. They have English speaking staff at all levels so that overseas students could communicate without difficulty. This is essential for effective learning.
We will arrange an elective for the students to gain maximum exposure as possible in their selected specialties . Rural hospitals in Sri Lanka do not offer elective programmes but we could arrange students to get involved in public health programmes like immunization or dengue prevention upon availability, if interested.
All correspondence required by the hospital will be expedited by us on behalf of the student.
We will also arrange safe accommodation close to the hospital at reasonable rates and pick up the students on arrival from airport.My staff is available for any other assistance they may need during their stay. If I am in Sri Lanka by the time they arrive I will personally take them to the hospital and introduce them to the staff.
A detailed time table of the elective programme and our fees are given in our web site http://www.medicalelectives2srilanka.com/more-info.php
I will be thankful for sharing the information with students who may be interested in doing an elective in Sri Lanka.
Thanking you, I look forward to hear from you.
Kind Regards,
Dr Asoka Thenabadu
