What is better to be considered as a USCE: 1. observership or 2. volunteering or 3. work in private office as a medical assistant (taking vital signs and histories)? I know externship is the best but I cannot found it, as well as a research, so please clarify for me from these 3 options what should I do? Thank you very much and have a good luck!

working in a office is the best.. if you can.. the second best would be getting externships.. they are expensive, but they are work it. good luck mankidav@hotmail.com

Clerkship and Sub-I are medical student rotations in different years.

Both are medical student rotations. Not observership or externship. In other words, if you have graduated medical school overseas, you cannot perform a Sub-I or (clinical) clerkship. If you are looking for US direct patient care experience, you will be looking for an externship. An observership is just watching and doesn't count. Good luck
