same thing...
only clerkship or internship is different.. where you have hands on clinical experience...
in observership you are a observer and in externship you are a external person.... you dont get the opportunity of handling the patient....
I hope it helped...

contacts... if you have them you can pin the opportunity...
what i did was to e mail different professors... my friend got an observership this way... i got reserach.... i did like 100s of e mail.. a few responded.... you can find the observership / externship this way...
for clerkship you need to be in your medical school... if you are in medical school then you shud apply for it... email all the different cordinators... email email email... some kind hearted soul will reply....
if you can you shud also visit some programs... show your interest there... that you want to have a position there... and you just want to see how every thing is... just to see how well you can settle in the atmosphere.... some one might extend u the opportunity of letting you observe... work hard during that time, to gain the LORs... that matters in the end ... a hell lot...
good luck

clindamycin, you are saying you emailed individual professors, instead of program directors/coordinators? what did you ask them?
i am asking becos not sure who to contact. also, did you do observership at comm. hospital or univ. hospital?
thankx.
