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 On Sun, 11 Dec 1994, J.
