Hi Everyone!

I'm planning on doing my speciality training in the UK, but from what I understand it's rather competitive. So, I need to improve my CV as much as I can.

While browsing several teaching Hospitals I came across the terms "Elective" and " Clinical Placement". Could anyone explain what is the difference and whether I can apply to either or both?

Thanks a lot!
