Did anybody try these International medicine observership programs from George Washington University? Are they good? Do they worth the $800/weekly they charge?

It is just an observership, they will not even give you to do anything, and it is not very impressive on your resume anyways... If they could offer you an externship for that price I would think about it, but for observership it is just a rip-off...
It is your choice of course and if you have extra money to spend it is fine, but to me it seems like they are taking advantage of you...

You can find free Observership Courses. Send emails to programs and ask for this.
