If you are doing it through their Harrington Program (Latin American & Caribbean students), you get one by default from the director of such program. I don't know if it's the same for people who apply for observerships through a different way.

Besides that, observers usually ask for LoRs to the attendings they were with.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am not from a carribean school so I won't be eligible for the Harrington Program right? Where do I see the deadlines for the application? I don't see it on their website for observers. I am an IMG from India graduated this year. I just emailed the departments (Internal Medicine and Neurology) asking them if they can take me in for an observership. Did I do the right thing?
Thanks any help is appreciated.

Hello

Hi, I am going to do the observership on the months of June and July and I obviously have a lot of questions.

Can anyone help me about the clothes I can use at the Hospital, they said in a letter that women have to use blouse and slacks, but I really want to know if maybe I can use Drill Pants?
Also is pretty difficult to know what shoes use, because they said I can´t use heel, sandals, or sneakers ... then I was thinking I can usea flats, loafers or oxford Shoes, but I am not pretty sure of that because in my country we use to wear crocs.

I will appreciate any answer that help me ... Thanks and Have an excellent day ....

P.S: if anyone is going to be there on the same months I will be, it will be awesome to meet you :D

observership at miller SOM

Hey everyone, im applying to miller SOM obervership for two months. i had a couple of queries and id be grateful if somebody could help me.
firstly, is the experience good and worthy of 1000 dollars a month because it is quite expensive for observership. how valuable would it be as USCE?
secondly, do we get only one lor from the program director if we are going there for two months, or is it two months= two lor because ill be doing it in separate fields for each month.
thirdly, can someone guide me how expensive is the accomodation near uni of miami.
THANK YOU
