Hey aiysha ! I have done a great observership in Youngstown OH which pretty close to Columbus , at Northside Hospital Forum Health in the Internal Medicine Dept . All I did was send a CV + cover letter to the program director - Dr Politis in which I said that I was very interested in their residency program but I would like to see the hospital for myself first . They said I could stay for as long as I want , but because I was an IMG I could only afford to live there for a month . They're very nice people . I hope this helps .

Maybe you should phone Ms Goodin and ask how to proceed if you want an observership

I guess Dr Politis must be very nice to IMG and committed to teaching - my respects!
Dr. John Politis, M.D., 59
YOUNGSTOWN – Dr. John Politis, M.D., 59, passed away peacefully at Forum Health on Friday, Nov. 3, following a one-year battle with cancer. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends and well as his colleagues and patients.

Subsequent to that, he completed his internship and residency in the Internal Medicine Residency Program of the then Youngstown Hospital Association, now the Western Reserve Care System in Youngstown. Dr. Politis then completed his Pulmonary Medicine Fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin Hospitals in Milwaukee. He was board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases and Subspecialty Boards.
After completing his fellowship training, Dr. Politis returned to the Western Reserve Care System and NEUCOM.
