Elective in London
von Enise Ceran
First of all, let me start with a quote by Virginia Woolf: “To walk alone in London is the greatest rest”. In order to experience working in London and to get to know the British health care system, I decided to do a one-month elective in the Accident & Emergency sector during my fourth year. To start our fifth year, we as students of the Medical University of Vienna have to complete twelve weeks of electives. Four weeks of them have to be in internal medicine, four weeks are by choice and the other four weeks are compulsory in primary care. I had decided to do my primary care elective at the Imperial College London. Great Britain is known to have a very good education system and studying medicine in this country is competitive as well. Therefore, I thought that experiencing the education in London would be great and so I started researching about how to organize my elective in the United Kingdom.

This city is one of the biggest cities in the northeast region and the hospital there – Royal Victoria Infirmary –one of the biggest and most important centers in this region.
