Clinical Elective
Introduction to clinical electives
Clinical electives enable students in their final year (or penultimate year) of an approved university professional-entry medical course to enhance their clinical skills and patient care within our partner hospital sites.
We don’t provide a structured curriculum, access to lectures, or formal teaching placements at any of our clinical elective sites.
Where are Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Newborn Health electives offered?
The University of Melbourne's Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Newborn Health offers a medical student elective program at Mercy Hospital for Women and The Royal Women's Hospital.
Each site is administered separately, and ALL elective enquiries must be directed to the site elective coordinator.
Please DO NOT contact hospital clinicians or staff directly.
