Hi ,

I have seen so many people asking for externship/observorships..
and as i was searching now many of the hospitals are asking for the MONEY as much as 3500USD for a month of observorship?
And many of the programs say they cannot accept the observorship as hands on clincal exp and the same programs asking wont provide these? wink

what a tricky situation?Can some one please tell me what is the way u get USCE ? smiling face

please add ur personal opinions

Remember that an observership is not hands on experience. It's standing there watching, etc. Also, remember that many programs DON'T ask for this experience. Like mine.

Good luck
