first you have to state in your mail that you understand that you can't take money
and you must send what you expect from observerships , look for friendly hospitals look for friends who can help you write a decent mail with right language look in big states like NY, NJ,PA, CA good luck

Certain medical boards have strict limitations on what types of clinicals may be conducted by IMG’s prior to residency, if any. For example, California, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico strictly forbid IMG’s from conducting any sort of clinicals by IMG’s, unless in a formal teaching institution or in a certified profession (i.e. Registered Nursing, Medical Assisting, etc.)NEVER COME IN CONTACT WITH A PATIENT WITHOUT INSURANCE; you should not even risk it as it’s not worth losing your entire career over it, when there are legal clinical placement services through organizations. Observerships are just that: you observe! You don’t speak, touch, discuss, or interact in any way with a patient. Some states may even forbid you to talk about a patient with the treating physician while the patient is still in the office/hospital (so that no one alters the decision making of a licensed physician). Therefore although this term is well known to all residency directors, it is not an experience that is highly sought after by them (least favourable clinical experience).
