Hopefully this is not going to be off-topic.
1. What does the term clerkship mean and during which years of the medical education is? In Item 21 from the application form there is a lot of info to be filled out and I don't even have that much information. So, I spoke to a ECFMG rep and she told me that clerkshIp AKA rotations and this information can be left blank, if I don't know it. It is not going to affect my application and the rest of the process. Is that true? I am asking that because I talked to a coleague who said that he filled out all that info in his application and this is very important. Which one is correct?
2. What does the term Intership means and during which year of the medical education is? In my country we don't have the term Internship. I guess and the ECFMG rep said pretty much the same information, that Intership is what we did during the 6 year after we finished the rotations. It was kind of rotations again with more practical aspect fo the work. Is that true? That what I found on line for my medical university:
The course of study is offered as a six year program. The first 2 years are pre-clinical, the next 3 years are clinical training and the 6th year is the internship year during which students work under supervision at the hospitals. During the 6th year students have to appear for 'state exams' in the 5 major subjects of Internal Medicine, Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Social Medicine and Pediatrics. Upon successful completion of the 6 yrs of study and the state exams the degree of 'Physician' is conferred.
For some of the others med schools in the world you can sheck it out here...
