The elective programme is an essential component of the MBBS curriculum of the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka (SUSL). In contrast to other components and subjects in the MBBS curriculum, the elective programme is unique because it encourages the students to think and work freely on an area of their interest. The students are expected to complete this programme and compile a reflective report. This booklet is a guide for the students on how to complete their elective programme. The elective programmes for foreign students are different and a separate guidebook is available.

The students are expected to select their own projects. A wide range of topics are included in this guide only as examples and should not be considered as a comprehensive list of possible topics. When students have selected their topics, they should discuss them with their mentors (internal supervisors) and workout the logistics involved. The coordinator and the organizers of the elective programme are always available to guide and help students during their elective programme.
