HI,
Actually another doctor friend of ours told us about him. And that's correct. He charges so much for an observership, only, but he takes you everywhere

I wanted to know if anyone has completed any of their USCE in Illinois and if they have, which insurance did they use? how hands on was it? did you receive an LOR? and what was the length of your USCE?
