encounter if your paperwork is externship:
USCE = United States Clinical Experience, it's a general term that covers
any clinical experience in USA.
Externship is an organized training program designed by hospitals and
medical institutes to train "externs" by familiarizing them with the US
medical care system without allowing them to interfere with patients
management.
You might be allowed to take patient history and perhaps examine patients
and write patient notes under guidance.
The program usually follows certain rules likes timing, schedules,
assignments, insurance liability requirements, etc.
Most externship programs do not pay externs and many of them do require fees
to be paid by the trainee in order to enroll in the externship program for
certain duration. The term hands-on clinical experience usually refers to
externship.
Observership and as the name implies is about letting you observe what's
going on, shadowing the profs and doctors in hospital rounds or in
outpatient clinics. Observership is usually less organized and tend to have
no rules and managed by individual physicians and is commonly seen in
private practice. In observership usually you are not allowed to take
history or examine or write patient notes [the basic rules is Don't Touch].
Sometimes, medical institutes and Universities cannot offer (externships) to
IMGs due to State and local laws and regulations. Such hospitals usually
provide observership rather than externship training.
Clerkships usually refers to clinical rotations that are done by medical
students. It's a general term.
Electives is a term used for an academic course chosen by the student from a
set of options, as opposed to a required course (called Core Clinical
Rotation or Clerkship) which are deemed essential for an academic degree.
Elective rotations tend to be more specialized and usually have fewer
students than the usual core rotations. International Medical Students can
do electives outside their country, for example in the United States. This
can expose them to US healthcare system early on and increase their chances
of getting into residency. IMG grads are not allowed to go into elective
rotations once they graduate.
Internship is a period of medical training (usually one year) that is a
mandatory requirement before a license to practice medicine is granted.
Internship timing and duration differ significantly from country to another.
In USA, medical students enter their internship when they start residency,
that's why first year (PGY1) residents are called interns. In other
countries, internship might be a period of clinical clerkship that must be
attended before the student is granted a graduate status. | a******3
