Is FMG Portal a reliable organisation for obsis n externs..?
They are charging like 350- 400 USD per week for externships.
wanted to know if anyone has any idea regarding it.
NO and do not waste your money.
@sedar-why do you say that? Do you have experience with them?
I used them and was satisfied. They did exactly what they said they would.
@tess-like I said they did what they said they woiuld. If you are expecting more than what they offer then you will be disappointed.
They offered me a three month externship at a solo private practice and that is what I got. They do not offer externship in a Hospital or University associated medical center. If this is what you want then look somewhere else.
But you also have to realise that most residency want extership in a hospital and do not look highly on externship in a small clinic. But it is better that nothing.
thanks sedar n dccusmle!
@ dccusmle- is it possible to get an externship in a community based hospital or univeristy hospital via FMG Portal? OR FMG Portal just offers externships in private clinics?

I don't thing so. Most community based hospital or univeristy hospital have their own system for getting externs and observership they don't need to go through a third party such as FMG Portal or FMG America. Sites like FMG Prtal or FMG America will usually deal with private clinic.
I don't have first hand knowledge, but I would be very wary of any site that promice an externship at community based hospital or univeristy hospital.
thank u so much dccusmle.
do u have any idea regarding observerships in toronto, Canada?
