GMU encourages the students to visit well-known university teaching hospitals in different parts of the world and undergo elective training during the program.
The aims of the Electives are to stimulate the minds of students, expand their horizons of knowledge, and prepare them for future work by letting them observe and learn various skills in a variety of professional settings when exposed to patients with different beliefs, values and culture. The students will become aware of advances in healthcare and research that provide better health outcomes and compare how healthcare is delivered in different countries.
GMU has collaboration with several national and international universities and teaching hospitals to facilitate placement of GMU students only. Click for list of offerings [Link]
