US medical residency placement

How It Works

At US Med Clinicals, we assist international medical graduates in finding clinical rotations in the United States.

We help you secure these rotations by providing official US academic letters of recommendation, which are printed on official US academic letterheads. These letters enhance your application and show your qualifications to potential employers.

In addition to helping you find clinical rotations, we also guide you through the entire process of applying for US medical residency. Our team offers support and advice to make the residency application process straightforward and stress-free. We understand that applying for residency can be overwhelming, so we are here to help you every step of the way. Our goal is to make your transition into the US medical system as smooth as possible.

Programs

Opportunities for International Medical Graduates (IMGs)

International Medical Graduates (IMGs) can strengthen their medical careers by participating in observerships, externships, and clerkships with rotations in the United States. These programs offer IMGs the chance to gain insight into the U.S. healthcare system, improve clinical skills, and build relationships with U.S. healthcare professionals. One major benefit of these programs is the opportunity to receive letters of recommendation (LoRs), which are crucial when applying for residency programs through ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service).

Observerships

What is an Observership?
An observership is a clinical program that allows IMGs to observe U.S. doctors in action without being directly involved in patient care. This is a great way to learn about the U.S. healthcare system and how it operates.

Key Benefits:

  • Gain exposure to U.S. healthcare practices.
  • Learn how physicians interact with patients and medical staff.
  • Observe medical procedures and documentation processes.

Who Should Apply?
This program is ideal for IMGs who have completed their medical degree and want to understand the U.S. healthcare environment before applying for residency.
Outcome: Observerships often result in letters of recommendation (LoRs) from supervising doctors, which can help your residency application, even though you won’t be directly involved in patient care.

Externships

What is an Externship?
An externship is a hands-on clinical experience where IMGs can actively participate in patient care under the supervision of U.S. physicians. You’ll get involved in patient management and clinical decision-making, which gives you practical experience in U.S. healthcare.

Key Benefits:

  • Work directly with patients, taking histories and performing exams.
  • Participate in patient diagnosis and treatment plans.
  • Build stronger relationships with doctors, leading to more personalized letters of recommendation.

Who Should Apply?
Externships are perfect for IMGs who want more hands-on clinical experience and are preparing to apply for U.S. residencies.
Outcome: Externships provide hands-on training, helping you stand out in residency applications by showcasing your clinical skills in a U.S. setting.

Clerkships with Rotations

What is a Clerkship?
A clerkship involves completing clinical rotations, usually as part of medical school training. These rotations let IMGs experience different medical specialties, such as internal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics.

Key Benefits:

  • Rotations in multiple specialties give you well-rounded clinical experience.
  • Learn to manage a wide range of patient cases and conditions.
  • Receive letters of recommendation from specialists in various fields.

Who Should Apply?
Clerkships are mainly for current medical students or recent graduates looking to gain a variety of clinical experiences in the U.S.
Outcome: By rotating through different specialties, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of U.S. healthcare and receive valuable recommendations for your residency application.

Eligibility Requirements

To apply for observerships, externships, or clerkships, you typically need to have completed your medical degree, be proficient in English, and have a valid visa to enter the U.S. Some programs may also have specific requirements like medical school transcripts or proof of prior clinical experience.

Letters of Recommendation

Letters of recommendation are one of the most important parts of your residency application. Strong LoRs from U.S. doctors can significantly boost your chances of matching into a residency program. At the end of your observership, externship, or clerkship, you may be able to request a LoR, which you can upload to the ERAS system when applying for residency.
