does anyone have any info about programs that provides observeship?

I applied some programs. all of these that replied said observeship is available only to students but not to graduates.

i am not trying to get LORs or whatever for application but just to get some sense in path residency.

i am willing to pay the program and relocate.

thank you.

hey,

i wrote letters to a lot of path departments... and i ended up getting a spot near home in no time. i'm in canada (im canadian and rotated here), so it might be a bit different. if you're in the states, there are so many more hospitals there.

it's been an awesome experience. lots of hands on stuff. it lets you see what you're getting into. hope you get a spot.

FATIN:
Observership in path. means that 4 to 6 weeks u go in a path department and OBSERVE the work pathologists do. U are not allowed to touch anything, but u are free to ask and answer questions. At the end of your weeks u get a characterization from the doc that supervised you.

good luck
