- In this video, I discuss the frequently asked questions about United States Clinical Experiences. What's the difference between an elective and an observership? When to apply for clinical electives? How and when to apply? The requirements and how many months you'll need.
These places might not offer electives any more, do your research! (This list is from 2020)
Without USMLE Step 1 Score - UAB, Mt. Sinai, FIU, Harvard, Weill-Cornell, NIH, FIU, Stanford
With Step 1 Score - Cleveland Clinic, LSU, Thomas Jefferson, Umass, UNC, Emory, Mayo Clinic.

Great video 🎉. We watch many of these types of videos since we help medical students with finding rotations, but they are usually very surface level info. This is much more in depth 😊
Let's pray for people of Bengal and hope everything get fine there😊😊😊 Thanks for video, it was good information for IMG's!!
Super informative video Arjun Da. Best Wishes!
This was really helpful, thank you so much for your support.

Hey Twinkle, feel free to share this amongst your peers and college groups.
Thank you very much.
I just have one question, Do IMG students in their internship year in their home university regarded as graduates or medical students to the US hospitals/universities? i.e. are they eligible for elective clerkship?
Thank you so much
Great video
Very helpful sir😊☺
Could you please give some insight into how to get USCE now during covid times since most of the reputed programs have suspended electives for international students?
Great stuff
Pray for bengal
hey doc
how many research papers did you write in the medical college?
Can you plz clarify whats meant by graduation? Is it the result of final year?
If i apply for elective and my result comes out before end of my elective date, can i still apply or not?
Thank youu
Sir please can you confirm on which visa I can do clinical rotations in USA?
thanks alot doctor ❤
I have one question how about visa ...
is it difficult to get it and what type of visa shoudl i have if I am IMG?
Hi doctor sahab.
M doing my residency in India.
M in my final year from AIIMS, delhi.
Will I be eligible to get electives? Or I will have to apply for observership?.
I was thinking if I can get electives as I am in medical school.
Please advise..
Thank you
Hi I’m a 3rd year mbbs student in India
However since mine is a new college I cannot give steps till I graduate
So do I stand a chance to match if I give my steps after graduating and do just observerships ( not electives)
I've some seniors who are doing their residency in usa, can they provide me electives?
How much it cost in gross total for doing electives in usa.
what about your step 2 ck
when did u take it
Simpy too good!
Hello Doc, hope you having a good day.
I wanted to ask how to ace electives. Do I need to know all step 2 information in order to do well on my electives ?
You should be well versed with your elective subject. If you're doing nephro know nephrology in details. The more you know helps but mastering CK isn't necessary.
If I plan to go in internship does I count as undergraduate?
Thank you sir. Actually I was just curious to know that how did you manage to do 3 clinical electives before your internship. Didn't it affect your attendance in the year just before internship
I started internship 3 months late with the supply batch.
Thank you Arjun da!!
@@ArjunChatterjee so basically we can't go In between our internship year...or what
Thanks Arjun Da!
Sir, which type of visa is needed for electives?
Can I get J1 visa ecfmg sponsored for electives?
Which visa is needed for step 2 cs?
Can u tell me which visa is required
How do I get an elective in Emory ?
Hello Dr. Rohit Nathani, I would like to know how the elective fit into your Medical Degree program, did you have to pause from your studies in that semester of Med School? Do you get credits from the elective? Please, I'd be really grateful for a reply.
Hello! Is UMass VSLO affiliated?
I’m confused. If doing electives will get me one letter of recommendation and they need 3-4 LORS, how am I going to get the rest?
In an elective you rotate with 3/4 doctors. 1 every week or 1 every two weeks. So potentially you can get 3 or more lors from one month of elective, but I won't count on that. Do at least 2 electives to be competitive.
Arjun Chatterjee Ohh so 2 months of electives! Thank you so much for clarifying!! May I also ask about the cost of insurance malpractice/health insurance ?
Hi I am from WB too..just wanted to ask like if i apply for cleveland , ohio the total fee is like 400 $. if i say that i have got good usmle toefl score..along with LOR frm dean and all other requirements like vaccnines..visa..background check and all other requirements...can my application get rejected...??
Yes
Hi...Could you plz elaborate how much did your electives cost in total?including accomodation? I wanna get a glimpse of cost if I take 2 electives.
This is going to vary from person to person-year to year. It's better to do your research in this case.
Please how to find places out of VSLO to apply , even application is suspended now how can I find the places? Plz help
Check UAB visiting international medical students. I don't think they require VSLO, but it's expensive.
I am a 2nd year medical student in the Philippines. I'm Nigerian. How do I go about the electives. Is it possible to write Step 1 with how bulky the med school syllabus is.
Watch my electives video and read my step 1 experience at indianmedicalstudent blog
What would it cost for 2 month elective?
Thanks for the video. There is one question I cant seem to find the answer and would really appreciate the help.
I am a 4th year student(total is 6 years), have no USCE before, and havent taken the step 1 yet(will probably take it after pass/fail).
Our academic calendar has 1 month of elective in our final year. Is that the only time I can do an elective in US? Or how can I do lets say 2 months of electives? (So basically what I wonder is, when we say "the electives", are we referring what our school lets us, or it has nothing to do with the scool I study in). If 1 month is the only option I have and it is not good enough, I will maybe consider freezing my school for 2 months in final year and do elective in US. Although, I am not sure if graduating 2 months later will look bad in matching process. (You say you did 3 before your internship, and 1 after it. Does that mean you got graduated 4 months later than your normal calendar?)
Thanks for any answer!
Whatever your college allows. Even if they don't give credit for the elective go if you can, while as a student.
@@ArjunChatterjee I will try to do electives while my school wont give credit, thanks for the answer. It would mean my graduation will be 1-2 months later than usual. Do you think/know it has a bad impact on matching process? (After all, 2 months late graduation but that 2 months is USCE)
@@denem4173 absolutely not. SCORES > USCE >>> everything else
@@ArjunChatterjee Okay, thanks for all the information. Have good day
Hey bro thank you for your informative video. Say i have 2 months to do electives Do you recommens doing it in one hopsital or in 2 different hospitals? As people told me doing it in one hospital makes the LOR more reliable.
Good question. It doesn't really matter. It all depends on cost, the specialty which you got, and if you liked the first month or not.
Thank you for your reply bro. I want to do an elective in Radiology in Cornell. Do you think getting an elective in Radiology is difficult? Like you mentioned it is difficult for cardio.
@@MohamedKhaled-mo1we not really. Most people apply for IM electives. Only do radio electives if you want to pursue radiology in the future. It's better to stick to one speciality always.
Mohammad Kaled can u tell me which visa from should we submit b1.b2 or j1 visa for elective's because the company which is supposing me is saying b1b2 but my travel agent said j1 visa i am confused
Most of the universities/hospitals website says that elective for visiting students is suspended due to Covid-19, does anyone know when they’ll open back for visiting students?
Next year. Not before March, as late as July I guess.
Arjun Chatterjee thank you very much
@@ArjunChatterjee Hello! Is it advisable to extend our internship for longer than usually ppl do, just for the sake of being eligible for electives?? I mean like whole year is going by after I gave my step1 and I m just waiting for applications to open. Or should finish internship and do observerships later, especially someone is looking up to surgery residency?
@@dr.swathiraikot i have the same doubt..could someone please enlighten
1. Is getting clinical electives at weill cornell difficult? 2. Whats the difference in process of application for the foreign students who dont require visa?
1. Depends on the time of year and the number of applications they receive. Just before and around Match season shouldn't be (Nov-April)
2. You don't need the visa, rest everything is same! See my other video on the Elective application.
hello sir! ..can we do our electives in USA in our internship..it is considered as student ..right?
Depending on the institution. Mayo = No, most other places = Yes.
Is a final year med school student in USA the same as INTERNSHIP year (after 4th year) in INDIA?
Yes for most cases.
May I ask for your opinion on how will elective programs assess students now that the step1 exam will be pass/fail?
Will make a separate video on that
Arjun Chatterjee Awesome cannot wait thank you!
Sir could you tell me which speciality is easy for IMGs to get into

@@ArjunChatterjee yes then?😨 Please make video fast
Hii Brother I'm from Russia..I'm a little bit confused about duration of Clerkships, can you tell me exactly duration of clerkship like 2 months or 6 months?
Up to you, your budget and your med school allowing you to go to the US.
Thanks a lot brother !
Hey bro.. I am from bangladesh.. Can i do my electives in the break between giving final exam and the start of internship? I need this information.. And is it difficult to get internal medicine electives in usa?
Absolutely you can. Depends on your USMLE scores and CV.
how did you take permission for months of leave during final year mbbs
Depends on your university rules. Ask your college admins.
@@ArjunChatterjee thank you for your help sir.
How can I go to US in 4th yr of my mbbs?? Pls elaborate on timeline and process
Watch the other videos on electives.
@@ArjunChatterjee ok
