Try as observeship, elective, visitor physician, etc. Have in mind that this is a very difficult time, almost everybody applying to 2007 match are in the same quest. Besides knowing a doc from the hospital, direct contact is the only other way I know. In Cleveland Clinic, Jackson Memorial, Mayo Clinic, and many others have programs for foreign doctors, but takes time for your application to be processed, even a whole year... Good luck

I wouldn't say that about Nebraska - I know three physicians in just the last two years that have gone to Nebraska for training.
And they have a great football team.
And no, I'm not in Nebraska, but I drove through the state once...

52 if you count Mexico and Canada. 53 with Puerto Rico. (Very tongue and in cheek and nothing against those places. Love Canada and Mexico - haven't been to Puerto Rico....yet.

apply atleast 6 months before you anticipate doing observerships.. no ecfmg certificate required.. no usmle score requirements.. best of luck
