Externship Placement Assistance / US Clinical Experience

The majority of residency programs in the United States require International Medical Graduates (IMGs) to complete at least three months of hand-on experience in a clinical environment prior to qualifying for residency.

IMGPrep offers one of the most effective externship placement programs available. We work with teaching attending physicians who are affiliated with a U.S. medical school, residency program or teaching hospital so we provide our medical graduate clients with critical hands-on experience including:

• Patient history assessment
• Patient physical examination
• Complete interaction and dialogue with the attending physician
• Experience in the U.S. clinical environment
• Charting/SOAP note taking

Most of our externship programs last from three months to one year. Once your program is complete, you will receive an American letter of recommendation from the doctor that reflects your professionalism and competence.

Observership Programs Don't Qualify
An observership program allows a medical graduate to simply observe a medical team, but does provide any hands-on experience. Though these programs can offer a learning experience, many IMGs who complete observerships later discover that their time was wasted and they must still complete a hands-on externship. IMGPrep never places medical graduates with observership programs.

Clinical Research Doesn't Qualify
Most residency programs do not count clinical research as the experience needed to qualify for a program unless accompanied by a significant publication. In fact, extended periods of research can actually hurt an applicant's chances of being accepted. In most cases, an externship is still a pre-requisite for residency.
