Does anyone know if Union offers interviews to their observers? I have an observership scheduled in November and i was just wondering if its worth doing if iam not going to get an interview.
This is the exact reason why many hospitals dont offer observer-ships anymore. You should do it because of your interest in the field and the hospital and not because you want an interview there.
What will you prove in your observer-ship ? How well you can WATCH patients and follow a group around ?
Makes me grin how people like you reflect upon the IMG's as a whole. One bad seed ruins the field it seems.
Wanting to cancel if they dont offer interviews... Pathetic!
lol its IMG's who ruined the entire system btw.
Memorize questions and study for each step for years
suck up to everyone at every level possible
never creative and always memorize answers at interviews.
practice interviews and CS when its something you should know how to do
always compete with others like its a race.
So yah iam glad i ruined it for you
Awww jungle001, you didn't ruin it for me bud, i dont believe in sucking up to get IV's. I have self dignity and i believe in the process.
Your points are 100% correct, but the fact that you will cancel based on if you get an IV or NOT really made me cringe.
If you are an AMG, you have a right to appeal residency placements at any ACGME hospital that has given "your" spot to an IMG. I dont know if you are aware of this fact and urge you to appeal to as many places as possible if you really dont get a spot over any IMG.
As i see if AMG's with multiple failures and low scores will still match over IMG with avg grade and even IMG with high grades. Please appeal with teh ACGME if you havent done so already.
@jungle001: Is your observership already confirmed with them? November is pretty soon.
@drpepper
yah its in november. If you want you can have my place ill cancel it.
I wish I could. I won't be able to make it for November. Hopefully someone else can take your place
Is there a penalty to cancel?
@jungle could you tell me how you applied for obsie there because there is no link on their website?
Just email them and wait for an answer
