Review[Electives during preclinical medical curriculum: the Geneva experience ].
Electives have come of age in Medical Schools throughout Europe since the Bologna Guidelines were issued. At the Faculty of Medicine of Geneva its importance was recognized early to satisfy the students' curiosity, enlarge their visions, or deepen their knowledge in certain aspects of their curriculum. ⋯ The experience has so far been a success, with high satisfaction as well of the student as of the teacher body. A major challenge for the future will be opening further these Electives to other Faculties and other professions.
