Elective in the royal melbourne hospital. Which discipline??

[leafrenchie]

Hi there
I'm a French medical student currently trying to organise my elective for july/august 2013 in the royal melbourne hospital.
I'm not too sure of which department to choose... i'd be interested by most of them (but surgery) maybe more by cardiology/neurology/endocrinology/infectious disease/emergency/dermatology

But i guess some departement are better than others i mean in terms of learning and involvement of the student into patient care. Do you have any recommandations? Somewhere where you really had a blast?
I'm pretty clueless right now.

Also i was wondering how electives were organized... is it just observation or do you actually "touch the patient"; do physical examination, and eventually do some "gestures" (puncture, blood taking...)


Thank you for any help you can offer me!

neurology at RMH has a really, good reputation, and it's one of the only centres in australia (?) where neurologists are doing interventional work. bon chance
