1. Observership for those who have graduated medical school. Volunteer positions. Student rotations if you are currently in medical school.
2. Observership - done if you have graduated medical school (not mandatory). Externship - part of your medical school training done in a US hospital.
3. No
4. Yes - you will be working
5. No - you have to do a lot of search to find a position.
6. Yes - it will help you
