Tobago Elective
This elective takes place on the beautiful island of Tobago at the Southern end of the Carribean Island chain. A quiet, serene, harmonious island Tobago is famous for its white sandy beaches and its fabulous scuba-diving. Well, you won’t get the plethora of five-star resorts that Barbados boasts, nor will you get the nightlife that Jamaica serves up. If you want those holidays, go there. The pace of life in Tobago comes in two speeds: slow and slower. No worries, take it easy, chill… Tobago is the place to go to lie back and relax. A young TobagonianVisitors talk of stepping off the plane and feeling the stress being sucked out of their body. Broad smiles greet you at the taxi rank, the crystal clear Caribbean glints at you as you travel on to your accommodation. And a cold Carib beer or refreshing rum punch will greet you at your destination. One of the best things about Tobago is that it welcomes you.
Medical students who travel to Tobago will be based in Scarborough, Tobago’s largest town and will have the opportunity to take their elective at Tobago’s main hospital and become part of their relaxed and friendly community.
