hey buddies...
I got a question which is unrelated to myself but you might have a clue...
do we have such thing as clerkship or observation for residents?like can Iranian residents come to US for something like a clerkship or observation and then go back?do we have a term for that?

Nima,

There is no difference between Iranian residennts and routine gradutes. As long as you meet the program requirements for the course you don't have any problem.

Hi Amir,
No I mean is there a term for them?what part of the university web site should I search?
you mean can a routine graduate come to US and start a rotation even if s/he is not a student?would it be the same as externship?

amir: thanks for asking. well i am going to call them in 2 days. i'll keep you posted on it.

avesta: you're 100% welcome. if you have more questions, we will be happy to help.

nima: as far as i know, resident or non-resident as long as you are a graduate, and if you are lucky enough to find them, you CAN do either an "observership" or "externship". i never heard of a special program for residents.

Hey friends,
Does anyone of you know if we can get a dean's letter or MSPE or anything close to that from our universities? I graduated from Shaheed beheshti. And if so what should we ask for? (I mean what is the farsi equivalent?)

  #111

we don't have a dean's letter...I don't even know my dean let alone he knows me!!!they should sign that you have a good command of english and in good level as a student...they don't sign such thing..unless you find some connections and give him the letter yourself.He should just sign it without reading it...

Thanks Nima, so I guess I'll just forget about it.

hi everybody
how mutch is the chance to match for transitional year residancy compare with others?i mean is it easear to match for this program or it is the same as other residancies?what kind of scores does this program want?

  #114

I know it is harder than internal and FM, more competative, but I am not sure about scores.

  #115

I don't exactly get the concept of transitional...what is the difference with prelim?

  #116

As far as I know transitional is a pgy-1 for those who want to go to fields like derm, ophthalmol, neuro...it is easier than internal or surgery...so many prefer to do that rather than harder rotations of internal, as for prelim I'm not sure, it's kind of the same thing, but it's like prelim in internal, or in surgery, and I think the prelim in internal for example has the same level of hardship and rotations as first year intern of internal. or the same for surgery.
not sure though.

  #117
