Program Details

This clinical experience is specially designed for international medical graduates planning to apply for residency within the U.S. Individuals who complete this clinical experience are eligible to request a letter of recommendation on hospital letterhead. LoRs are only awarded to those who exceed expectations and demonstrate skills and professionalism above their peers. 

This specific clinical experience is entirely inpatient. Students are guaranteed a minimum of 20 hours a week, during which time they can expect to see roughly see between 15 patients each day. Because this experience is strictly an observership, visitors will be closely supervised by an interdisciplinary team of medical professionals.

Over these four weeks, visitors will also interact with other medical students, many of whom may be completing their residency through the institution. Outside of the clinical experience hours, visitors will have the option to attend supplemental lectures and informational discussions led by these individuals.
