Really late late comment, but , just taking a chance... Is there a list of places you have which one can apply for US observership in? which are likely to be accepted.
salam brother. i am trying the link you posted below and it just says that there is no IM recommendations for me. do you have any other useful link regarding observership. kindly do share. thankx
Excuseme Do you know how nesesary it is to do one or more clerkships to get it radiology residency or general surgery in US? Does observership have any value to IMG? thanks you so much
Is it factible to search for Clerkships/Electives as you said for the observerships? I mean, search for those programs that are not attached to other companies that charges you
It is better to actually go to an elective that is free. And I would advise against going with a company that charges you money, unless you exhausted other options.
The purpose of the observership is mainly NOT research. It will be difficult to do research while being an observer. The only way is usually by connecting with a physician/researcher who needs help and willing to take you on as a volunteer during your time there.
So as a medical student of 1/6 in Turkey, Is it possible to be accepted to any observerships in US , or is it unimportant to do such kind of advances from the first year?
You can be accepted. It will be more difficult, especially giving the current circumstances, but you can. Medical students are always easier to get electives.
If a student is graduated but doing internship at present , which is better to go for ?? Observerships or electives?? And is USMLE step 1 going to be necessary for that ??
I don't know how it goes in your country, but in Egypt for example, you are still considered a student untill you finish your internship year. So you are still eligible to apply for electives. It depends on your country/medical school.
@@USMLE101 okay got it.. your videos are alot helpful .. I wish you could make a video about a brief introduction to how it exactly goes from step 1 USMLE till you get the admission
Can i do observership with externship..(i.e if i got free observership directly from the hospitals and in the same time applied the companies that help for paid externships ? 2 months obserships plus one month externship !! Is that okay can i do that in one visa ?
is there a wide difference between clerkship n observership???im IMG n currentl a graduate but have 2 months of my indian internship which i tuk break for my online kaplan course........sooo my rough plan is ill finish internship n finish my step 1den go to usa for observership plus step2 cs,since i can pay once for all n go to usa..is it opt to do that way???? if not, how i go through it ,please suggest....
It was extremely beneficial to be honest. I was able to sharoen my medical, communication, and networking skills. I was also able to get LOR which is hugely important.
its known how hard is to get a LOR doing an observership because they never see you working.... how did you get a LOR? were you shadowing a physician or were you in a big university hospital? Im doing an observership next month and any tips will be kindly appreciated :). Thanks!!
I did both. I was shadowing a physician in the office and also did a month in a hospital. The thing that makes you stand out the most is your attention to the case itself and the questions you ask which shows interest. You can't do much work, but you can read up on the cases you saw and maybe ask follow up questions. Ask to be involved as much as possible. Be always on time and offer to help with anything when an opportunity comes (like looking up some information, remembering information related to the patient and so on). It also depends on tge expectations you set your observership on. You need to be clear about your objectives with the physician you will showdow. You can have a meeting with him/her and mention that you would like him/her to evaluate your time with them and that you hope your interest and attitude will lead to a LOR towards your residency application. That's as far as I can tell you. I hope it helps.
Thats awesome!! thanks for taking the time to answer. So you think is easier to get a LOR by shadowing a physician at the office rather than being in a hospital with many students around? Its just I have the chance to decide whether do one or another so whats your opinion on that? thanks again for your time
It depends! A hospital experience is more valuable in general, but it is easier to get a recommendation letter if you Shadow a physician in his/her office. If it were me, I would choose the hospital and try my best to stand out and get the recommendation letter.

Is it possible to participate in any sort of publication during observership, and how you can secure that?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I am a medical student but not in my final year so what kind of clinical experience can I apply for.
If a student is graduated but doing internship at present , which is better to go for ?? Observerships or electives?? And is USMLE step 1 going to be necessary for that ??
Elective is a lot better than observership. Some places require step 1 and others don't.
@@USMLE101 so if I haven't done my internship yet but have got degree of MBBS , I can apply for both the things ?
I don't know how it goes in your country, but in Egypt for example, you are still considered a student untill you finish your internship year. So you are still eligible to apply for electives. It depends on your country/medical school.

Clerkship has hands on experience and usually done by students. Observership is just observation.
Hi. How long is one observer-ship? And thank you for this video!
Usually 4 weeks. But it can be less or more.
@@USMLE101 Thanks!

how were your observership experience if you already did it?
