Paid Observership Experience at Drexel University

As Drexel Medicine's Physician Refresher Course website says:

"An innovative program for physicians wishing to return to active clinical practice, change their sub specialty, or prepare for admission to US graduate medical education training programs.This program may help meet the current physician shortage needs."

The Program is offered in three formats :

1. On-site Preceptorship (Preceptorship = Observership)
2. Online Distance-learning didactic curriculum
3. Online Clinical Skills Assessment

Hmm...Option 1 is what Most IMGs would be interested in. Drexel University is a prestigious place to be and have on your resume - except that the fees are pretty steep.

Fees:

1. Observership : $7500 (What !!)
2. Didactic Teaching: $ 7500
3. Clinical Skills: $ 8500

Combined Package: $20,000

Whoa ! It's absurd that only one letter 'r' separates the words "Fee" and "Free" - They need to be totally different-looking words that bear NO resemblance to one another ..he he..and besides someone who can afford to pay those is already very well off and doesn't need to be a physician income-wise ......I meant income-wise ;-)
