I also heard IMG's could only do observerships, because for doing externhips, I think you need to coordinate with the medical faculties, and if you are aready graduate, you dont belong to any medical faculty, you are on your own
I don't believe that's true... I heard that hands-on programs only require medical malpractice insurance
I am an IMG and did all hands-on clerkship programs for my USCE on my second residency application... you have to find the right services that offer it
honestly, I am still not quite clear about the differences between an externship and clerkship... all I do know is that I only had observership LORs the first time I applied for residency and did not match
I gained LORs by working hard in hands-on programs and I matched this past year... I want to say that the hands-on USCE is what really improved my application
