The process is as follows:  

• 6 months in advance of the date (no earlier) you can call this office at 613-548-2368 or email  leem@kgh.kari.net and I will let you know if there are any openings.  These spots are granted on a “first come first serve” basis to the student whose approval arrives on my desk first.
  
  
• You should then complete the application process through the Undergraduate office so that they can approve the elective
  
  

• Dr. Landine (Undergrad Program Director) will complete your evaluation forms so he should be listed as the preceptor.  Make sure the email address leem@kgh.kari.net  is on the application form (the Undergraduate office sends a copy of your documentation)
