Cleveland Clinic offers online application to their International Physician Observer Program. I know two people that have made it there without connections.
The web application link is this
http://my.clevelandclinic.org/ccfor...ernational_medical_education_application.aspx

Of course, am not saying that everybody will be accepted when applying there but it worth trying.

Just wanted to share this with you guys.

Guys
I was able to get in :happy:

They answered me and I joined the endocrine department.

It's wonderful.

By the way on the orientation day there were over 20 international observers and I talked to most of them and they all applied online in that link I mentioned and none of them had connections or at least this what they told me :indifferent:

2 weeks

If you don't hear from them 2 weeks after you apply online then this means that you are not accepted. This is what Sarah Beigi (she's in charge of the International Students Affairs) told me last week.

As if they have spots this year or not, it depends on what you want to do. They have many many departments and placements, some of them are full and others are not full.

The best thing is that you apply online using the link I mentioned up.

thx for the link
you pay the $500 fee before or after you get a positive answer?
there is also $100 per week during rotation, right?

There's no payment whatsoever at the time I did it 3 months ago. Are they ask for payment now?

Oh, no that's a different link. That's Florida program. I went to the original Ohio site and I did endocrinology one month.
I stayed in a sharing accommodation.
