International medical graduates (IMGs) seeking to submit strong residency applications recognize the importance of U.S. clinical experience. However, the process of finding and securing such experiences, known as observership and externships, can be very difficult.
In this episode of the Success in Medicine podcast, join Dr. Samir Desai as he interviews Veena Sampatkumar, an IMG who completed multiple observerships and externships.
Learn how she secured a rotation experience within several months of moving to the U.S. You'll also discover the questions you should ask before you commit to an experience, the documents you need to prevent any delays in starting these rotations, and how to avoid pitfalls in the process. The episode ends with a discussion on how IMGs can make a favorable impression that leads to strong letters of recommendation.
