These rotations provide an opportunity to secure Letters of Recommendation (LORs), hospital based inpatient US Clinical Experience (USCE), and CV/Resume references. Maximize your networking in SOAP by taking advantage of great opportunities to gain LORs now in many available specialties. Strengthen your next application by not allowing gaps in your clinical experience and building your personal connections. All LORs are guaranteed to be written personally by our board certified preceptors and on hospital letterhead

Hi, I believe I replied to your email this morning before seeing this post

We have several openings in NYC in specialties such as Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pulmonary Critical Care, etc

All of our rotations in NYC are guaranteed to have board certified preceptors and accredited by ACGME. Our experience is mostly inpatient at university hospitals. All of our LORs are guaranteed to be written uniquely for our clients by our preceptors and ALWAYS on hospital letterhead.

If you have any other questions, please let me know or contact me directly at admin@medclerkships.com

No problem at all... we understand how valuable excellent USCE and LORs are for our clients' careers.

MedClerkships prides itself on going the extra mile to make sure our clients get the most out of our experience, even if that includes sometimes turning clients away because their desired clerkship does not benefit their residency application.

We currently have had 2 students drop out of our Pediatrics, Pulmonary Critical Care, and Internal Medicine rotations due to visa issues. Each one of these clients had enrolled in 1 rotation each in each specialty. Essentially, we have six new spots open for the coming months.

Inquire today as 2 spots were already filled by clients on our standby list.

We have been receiving many inquiries regarding a 100% inpatient university hospital experience

I am please to announce that we have just secured such a rotation in Brooklyn, NY

You will be working WITH AMGs, receive a hospital badge, and work 100% in the hospital only, no mix at all

We have limited spots available and malpractice insurance is REQUIRED on top of the tuition fee

Please inquire today, admin@medclerkships.com, if you are interested in this extremely prestigious and unique position

So far its great! Traveling in between the hospitals has been annoying in the rain but being able to rotate in hospital rounds has been very interesting. Are the Atlanta rotations approved yet? I was looking into the programs down there as the residency programs seem to have alot of IMGs. Georgia is very FMG friendly?

@DocGuilo - how is the actual experience? we can't control the weather! lol

In all seriousness, we pride ourselves in giving our clients the most exposure to as many hospitals as we can. Many other services promise you hospital time and shove you in a private clinic, never seeing the inside of a hospital.

As an IMG, the most exposure to the US healthcare system you can get can only benefit you down the line.

And yes, Atlanta rotations are officially approved. We are currently offering a 100% inpatient rotation in the following:

1) Surgery (General, ENT, & Plastic)
2) OB/GYN
3) Psychiatry (work with AMGs and residents)

It does seem that Georgia has many FMG/IMG friendly programs indeed. Please contact me at admin@medclerkships.com if you would like to discuss our new Atlanta programs in depth.

Good point, guess the weather is out of everyone's hands. It's actually cold in ny today. My days actually really busy, I have been doing alot of h&p and soap notes. I think I assessed 10 patients today but the best part was the medical conference today with some rep who brought a free gourmet lunch to listen to some new hypertension drug. Just networking with the doctors is great at these things... Can I ask to work with them and get more LoRs? Or is there some sort of policy on this?

Also I sent a email to my coordinator miss martin this morning regarding the internal medicine full inpt., haven't heard back. I know your busy but can you please switch my last 2 months to that? Just met a student named rakesh at the conference who said he did it with a IM/pulmonary CC doc in the ICU? Really would appreciate it if you can make that happen for me. I can drop off payment at your office if there is any availability.

@DocGuilo I'm very pleased to hear that you are having a fruitful experience. Regarding reaching out to other doctors for LORs, there is definitely no policy against that as any networking you choose to do to benefit your career is your prerogative. I actually strongly urge you to network and make the most of your exposure to the physicians you come in contact with - you never know how that connection will benefit your career later on.

It is not unheard of for our clients to secure interviews at the hospitals at which theyve completed their USCE through our service, it's just a matter of how hungry you are and how much of a good impression you make.

Yes, we have availability in our 100% inpatient Pulmonary Critical Care/Internal Medicine program - please contact me directly at admin@medclerkships.com to sort out the details

FM externship in NY

hi medclerkships,

i dropped you an email and left a msg in ur voicemail box today.
i hope to hear from you soon.
it's regarding my application for FM externship.
you dropped me an email earlier offering an IM rotation in brooklyn, NY but I would like to do an FM rotation instead. FM is my first choice. IM is only my second choice. I hope you still have available slots for FM. preferably in NY but I can also do FM rotations in other northeast states if there is no more NY FM slots.

Thank you.

@HOTdoc I had not realized you posted in the forum but it was a pleasure speaking with you earlier and placing you in our Family Medicine rotation in Brooklyn. We greatly value your business and I look forward to helping you gain your USCE. Please do let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

For all others - we are currently offering a 100% inpatient university hospital Pulmonary Critical Care rotation and have 3 spots left for May and June 2013. Please inquire today if you are interested in this valuable and exclusive rotation!

Hey yeah I did an abstract, and also published in a upcoming medical journal. Some other student said he was writing to publish in a medical book. Ask to talk to the company physicians they have a few different research opportunities. There's 4 different doctors that assign the research I think

I've been in touch with them for the past 2 weeks and got good support so far. I'm in the final steps of accepting their offer but I haven't heard back from them since Friday. Left message on the voice mail box and hope to hear from them soon.

And yes, Step 1 is required as far as I was told.

@DrEa

I believe we already spoke several times via email and placed you in our program

@Clyde88

Check your PMs. I have provided you with the emails of 2 current students. Please contact them regarding our experience. You can also email me directly at admin@medclerkships.com with any questions, I'd be happy to answer your queries and connect you with one of our physician consultants - this is a team of IMGs and current US residents in training. They can provide a free residency consultation call from the perspective of an IMG that went through the process and matched.

@jchang163

We have various program types. Our Premium Inpatient Only rotations are the only ones that absolutely require Step 1 or Step 2CK scores.

@puntsguy

No, interviews are never guaranteed. However, several students in the past have gained interviews via connections made through our placements.


All,
We also have many research opportunities available through our newly launched MedClerkships Research Network (MCRN). Please contact me directly for information on any of our ongoing projects for publication credit and the chance to gain an LOR based on your project contributions!

@ggggggggg

That really depends on which program you enroll in. We have various program types in different settings, each with different program requirements. Many of our students opt for our Standard Programs, which are essentially a mix of some hospital and mostly clinic experience. Send an email to admin@medclerkships.com for a breakdown of the different program types we offer.
