India Elective
India is a world unto itself. Travel the length and breadth of this culturally enriched sub-continent, and discover the diversity and unity amongst its people unlike that of any other nation. The Medics Away elective is based in Cochin, in the south westerly province of Kerala. Famous for its beaches, backwaters, culture, spices, hills and religious places, its no wonder the state tourism department moniker descirbes it as “God’s Own Country”.
Kerala is one of the few places in India that was not subject to direct British rule. People here live largely the same way they have lived traditionally and much of its rich culture and heritage is well-preserved. The area is becoming very tourist friendly also. The activites available to Medics Away students are extensive and perfect for the elective, which pertains well to the average elective itinerary; Hospital rotations in the week and travelling away for the weekends.
