Ayesha says that an externship in a private practice is worthless and so you should try to get an externship in a program you want to apply to. First of all, many residency programs clearly state in their selection criteria that US clinical experience in any setting where you get hands on experience counts toward their CE requirement. Secondly, it is virtually impossible to get an externship in any residency program in the US. These programs typically have medical students and residents under their supervision so they do not have space for externs. Also, malpractice insurance is necessary, and they cannot cover you with malpractice insurance. Fmgaffordable can provide you with US clinical experience that is of the type residency programs what you to have.
