I'm just wondering-----does it make a difference if u do ur observership from a big place--such as cleveland clinic foundation or is it the same if done at any university hopsital????

I think a paper of a "big" place it´s better..., besides you migth get stronger LORs and contacts..., and a very good experience....

The "bigger place" the better, I believe.

one more dumb question--- if u r really impressive during ur observership- it increases the chance of a program accepting u as a resident....

does this rule apply irrespective of scores

i too heard the same from some ppl.

i think it depends on who recommends for u.

any person who is in the selection team or has a vital role in the program will be a big asset i guess.
