Hi guys, I thought about making a thread to help each other to find USCE. I am not going to pay to any private company to do my homework so how to start looking for USCE.
I spent almost the whole day in FREIDA, trying to find any information about extership/observership in their web-page in Michigan and Illinois but there is no specific information.
Help, how did you do this?

I started calling the Mayo Clinic because they just have posted clerkships for students, asking if they have observerships/externships for graduates and they do. They will send me the application package by e-mail and also I started to send e-mail to the doctors I know. We will see what happens...
Good luck niksmg!

Good thread, Ivonne. For me, the observership works out by friends. So far, only one at hand even though I asked over 30 friends to provide me with any connections. I also contacted my previous boss who is a neurosurgen, my other previous boss's collegue who is a pathologist. It seems like something is going on, but I am hoping it will turn out to be a real opportunity.
Keep searching and keep asking around, you will get one. GL.

swapmary: I called them again She said "I will send it to you today but make sure you have an sponsor before you apply". Still waiting her e-mail.
Thanks katusha!
Njcjzy: Same thing here, e-mailed a professor/attending I met before for observership opportunity but they are bussy, any repply yet...
Caduceus: thanks a lot!. Indeed it is an excellent source of information. How in the world did I possible forgot digital.doc
If anyone is still a medical student. "wake up" the possibilities in getting a clerkship/elective is very high. Do it now!!!

In florida you can do what they called a mini residency, but you have to pay for malpractice insurance and pay them for that. Is about 4 weeks.
In jackson memorial hospital have that.
Hope this helps
