hi,
I am an IMG and am looking for a job as I am graduating from a Masters program and will be on work permit.
Since I am not yet ECFMG certified or licensed, I presume I might not be eligible for externship or pure clinical jobs. I see openings for Clinical research jobs. I want to know whether a Clinical research job where you interact with patients at history taking is enough to be counted as a Clinical experience?
what about jobs where you do molecular bio/lab experiments, do they impress the Program directors?
Awaiting reply,
Meg

Yes, if you interact with patients - it counts as some clinical experience.

And bio/lab experiments - it's going to depend on the program director

Good luck
