Somebody give an official definition of USCE, please! Does clinical research count?

Thanks a million!

Clinical experience includes externship and observership. Research is "research" experience.

Thanks, Silenced MD and ManuNastai! How do you find out which hospital provides such opportunities?

...i dont think many programs consider observerships as true usce.....for example, UTSW specifies this exact point on ther website

i would say usce is anything that gives u hands-on patient exposure....so it would be xternships, clinical rotations as a student...

maybe research within the us counts, as mentioned, just as research, since u dont have patient contact...but i'd say is kind of a stretch calling an observership usce....(which by the way was the only thing i could get for myself)
