Hi,
I am an FMG from INDIA. I am doing my final year MBBS and will give my finals in December. I wanna do clerkship next year. But I don't understand what to do or whom to contact regarding it. Can someone please help me.
Thanking You,
srinath gupta
I heard that clerkship carries more weight than the other two. So I would like to do it before December. What do I do?
I contacted some agents, they told me it will be 609$/wk. my friend told me that it can b done for 3004/wk if u go directly through the hospital without the agents!
can u help me...
I will be happy to help you with clinical enrollment. Please bare in mind that if you are preparing for the 2011 Match there is a significantly low number of available positions (if any) left. I will be happy to help you
Electives are done during the internship yr. of India Medical Colleges.
Hey Srinath,
You are in Final MBBS and will be doing your internship next year, right? Internship in India = Final year of Medical School. Because, you graduate and get your degree after internship. Hence, you will be eligible to do electives during your internship, after your final MBBS exam.
I'm in the same boat. Final MBBS. Want to do electives next year. I didn't even know there are commercial agents for electives!

i am from india.. in my 9th semester of m.b.b.s... i.e my fourth year..
i have heard and researched a lot about doing electives in the final year (internship) of medicine.. but i dont know how feasible it is as i have not given my usmle step1. i plan to give my usmle step 1 after completing my internship.. i.e in 2012. i am in a dilemma whether to go ahead and apply for electives now.. or to wait till i give my usmle step1 and go for an externship. i dont know anyone in the u.s to help me regarding this.. kindly advise.

Although it depends on your particular personal circumstances. But the general advice is that doing electives while still a student is highly regarded and easier to get than doing externships after you graduate.
