So elective reports can now be as long or as short as you like (within reason), remain unedited (unless for typos or MASSIVELY long etc) and will no longer be peer reviewed by our student reviewers. It is your chance to write an honest, personal, and informative account of your elective and to show off some of your photos. We hope that these changes will help this section become a very useful resource. So to celebrate this, Rob Hughes, a final year medical student at Bristol, UK, and the current intern with The Lancet and The Lancet Student, Patrick Howlett, another final year medical student at Bristol, and Edward Armstrong, a final year medical student at Imperial College, London, discuss their elective experiences in Sierra Leone and Tanzania.
