Hello
I am a first year medical student at McMaster University and am
interested in pursuing a career in International Medicine.  Prior to
coming to medical school I practised as a Chartered Accountant and have
graduate school research experience.  I am wondering if this course would
be applicable to me?  I am also wondering about the cost and any
potential funding.
 
I am also currently trying to set up a 6 week elective this summer in
Africa, followed by a one year elective starting in March 1996.  Does
anyone in your school have ideas/contacts re:  hospitals and projects in
Africa?  I appreciate any information you may have.   If I had an address
of anyone interested in me at McGill, I could sent a cover letter and my
c.v. for their information.
 
I appreciate your efforts in this regard.
Thanks
DALE
