I decided to do just 1 month USCE because I don't have enough time. So would it not help me?

Better than none

Few residency programs require one year of USCE.
Little more require six months of USCE.
Many more require three months of USCE.
Lot's of programs would be happy with one month of USCE.

By all means, one month of USCE is certainly better than none but three months will get more programs willing to take you.

Boot Camp rotations

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that Chicago Clerkships offers several different combinations of rotations in our "boot camp" program. This program is for highly motivated persons who are willing to put in a lot of hours but don't have a lot of time.

You can email us through our website www.chicagoclerkships.com for more information.

Shouldn't you aim for about a year of USCE??

3 months should be the minimum, I would aim for a solid year.

The reason is because an attending cannot evaluate you and your progress that well over a month. If you are with him/her over a few months real progress can be see and a LOR from this attending would hold value.

I would rather have 3 months from 1 attending then doing 1 month with 3 different ones. Essentially your back in the same boat. How much can they really say after just a month.
