@life of pi can probably tell you more, but as far as I know, most universities offering medicine in Australia, including Monash, give their students the opportunity of an elective placement in overseas countries. The main caveat is that you will have to arrange these placements and pay for all associated costs yourself.I'm just wondering do students have any exchange opportunity with universities in other countries during the five years?

Hey! There are a few opportunities, although not sure if they will still be around with the new MD system (I suspect most will still be around):
- Doing a semester in Monash Malaysia during late preclin and early clin years
- Doing a semester in Sweden during 4th year
- 6 week overseas elective during final year, anywhere in the world
- Doing one or more normal rotations in final year at Monash Malaysia
- Taking a year off to do a BMedSc(Hons) overseas, Monash has established partnerships with unis such as Oxford
There are probably other options but these ones come to mind rn

Thank both of you.

Right now probably not, but considering that one needs to apply at least 6 month ahead of time - Im absolutely sure the COVID-2019 will pass too...A clinical elective in China sounds like a really fantastic idea right now...!

Would you happen to have any personal affiliation with this "opportunity" you're promoting?Your point is well noted and the COVID-2019 will surely not only affect most medical electives worldwide, but also increasinglu all international travel for an unknown time. As security recommendations of all regions do change frequently, I think that every seriously interested students will be closely following the regional developments in their region of choice anyhow and asess the risks involved carefully.
However to make my point clear: I feel this particular thread is the wrong place to get into an discussion on principles of international medical electives or current security risks of certain regions offered and I suggest opening a new thread on this topic then if there is interest in the community about the impact of COVID on undertaking international medical electives.

agreed, currently this will also be true for Korea, Italy and I guess the number of countries will get much longer in the coming weeks. Bad times for going abroad for short term education at the moment in general I suppose as the situation changes drastically every day now. But again, I am pretty sure that this will pass too at some point ...
I dont know about Australian policies, but in Germany students can always rely on getting an elective at their home universities - especially when electives planned abroad are cancelled due to public reasons, but if that is no possibility, one should ask if international electives are a good idea at all.
I'm really sorry if you feel that my post is not appropriate or useful, but I hope it maybe it will be to others in the future... I dont mean to do any harm here and I am a little surprised on this reaction.

Isnt it risky then for students in Australia to opt for abroad exchange if its generally hard to find a backup in case of something not wotking out?
