OBSERVERSHIPS



Children's Mercy Hospital & Clinics, Kansas City
Specialty: Pediatrics
Durations: 1 to 3 days only
Application Information
Notes:
1. This opportunity is open to IMGs, American medical students, and current Residents and Fellows. As mentioned on the minutes of the Aug 2007 Faculty Meeting,

"International Medical Graduate Observership Requests : CMH will only allow short term observerships (two to three days) for medical graduates. All observership requests must be approved by the GME. Please contact Kerrie Jordan or Ravi Kallur." - So call (816) 983-6487 and ask for these guys

2. This is for a very short period and i would not expect an LOR out of this - but who knows, during your mini-stay if you impress the physician and try to request a longer time....;-)



Saint Louis University
Specialty: Emergency Medicine
Schedule and Application Information


Saint Louis University
Specialties: Multiple
Note: I have heard of candidates land observerships by writing to faculty listed on their Individual departmental websites - Click Here for the list of their residencies and department links and then look up faculty in the department of your choice. Merely Writing to the Program director won't help - since administrative duties & headaches probably make the Program director more likely to say no - hence write to the faculty too. Agreed its based on chance - but a chance is a chance only if you take it ...


University Missouri Columbia
Specialty: Pathology
Click here for Faculty List : Get the name and Search their email address by plugging names here.
Note: University Programs in Pathology highly value research and publications for accepting candidates for residencies - so research may help you more, but a short term observership is not bad on the resume


University of Missouri-Columbia
Specialty: Nephrology (Internal Medicine)
Note: Again this is based on evidence from friends - Write to Faculty (Included Program chair) listed on the Nephrology Website and take your chances :-)

"UCSF Fresno Family & Community Medicine offers observerships on a very limited basis. Once your residency program application has been submitted via ERAS, and you have been invited for an interview, you will have the opportunity to apply for an observership. Participants are selected by the Program Director."

Well, even if you do not match there, you can still use the experience elsewhere..
