What else did you mention in your externship experience? Externship is illegal in CA. You had to call it observership.

@ezzah,
Don't panic, Take a deep breath. You can always negotiate.
I beleive you have mentioned that in your activity statement. You can email tham and clarify that you haven't done that (If you haven't done it). maybe you had a supervisor there and you have done interpretation for that person as a part of your externship. but you can mention that the final interpretation hasn't been done by you.(ofcourse if it's true)
Good Luck.

I will pray for you Dr. ezzah, but I was surprised with that we can not even do lab interpretation.
Clinical research need to do lab interpretation, right?

wht the hell? i cant believe ..so cruel...
but relax!!! take it easy dude....to me,and as far as i see...u have done nothing illigal...dont accept the crap u have not done!!! it depends on wht happened..but couple of suggestions :
1- as some said well, say like u were not the final decision maker. ur supervisor was the one who had the license and was the one who was making the final decision.
2- u may share it with ur supervis to make sure u r at the same page and he/she agree with it.
3-if u agree with such...i think u r going to mess dat supervis or whoever allowed u to do so in trouble big time! so dont turn it to a big mess!
4-tell them u were simple and out of ignorancy made such error on ur application ...while u really didnt realize it! say like u were actually doing observe or as i said in 1 and 2 ! u had a supervisor who was making the fianl decision ...but was making sure to give u liberty to excercise ur med knowledge and that was how he or she evaluated u to give u a lor or else!
gl!
