1) What are the requirements for getting an externship? I am only a medical student and have not done the Step 1 exam.
2) How short can they be, minimum? If I have other commitments and want to study for exams and can't spare much time during my holidays, I need to know the shortest externships that are offered, but not at the expense of losing its worth.
3) Do contacts help? I have an uncle who works as an internal medicine specialist in the US. Can he just 'fix one up' for me?
4) The more the better, or are one or two just fine?
5) Are externships just general or by specialties? What are they like? (hours per day/assessment etc.)
Thanks.
