dear pap (not smear),

walking into a clinic/hosp with ur CV in hand and hope in ur heart is easier said than done (plus for this u gotta be on us soil)
ditti for calling then up/emailing them (except for this u can be offshore)
ofcourse by all means try. its not impossibe.

the last options for imgs are companies that u pay for real insured hands on...
but for this u will need to do ur homework big time with them - what exactly u will be getting (in patient setting is what u want, not out patient setting), how many weeks wud give u how many lors, and most of all... do have that much cash to dole out.....
there is no harm in contacting them and seeing how it goes... u don have to commit.... just see what they cud offer u and for how much.....

good luck!

Cheers!

hey adrian
i have been sending out alot of emails with my cv...
i do have a us visa and will be going for CS soon, and a previous 4wk usce...
still no luck most of them say we dont offer...
and many dont even bother replying..
so was wondering if anyone could tell me IMG friendly places for externships...

my last resort would be a private clinic...but will it be any worth...

Why do you just want to observe? Don't like some real action?
