take history, BP, pulse, he also allows me to examine the patients. And i give injections, IM/ IV, draw blood for lab test. IS this considered as USCE or only observership?
This is not a paid post, i am volnteering!

you have better keep quiet about what you are doing. seriously, if it is real as what you described, you should not be allowed to touch a pt if you don't have a medical liscence or are not RN. otherwise who gives you the permission will be in trouble.

U scare me now! how do i describe this as clinical experience or observership, when i go for interviews, as i am planning to ask a LOR from him, pls reply

I think u can, under his supervision. Like in the internship u can do all ,, but under supervision.
12-07-2005, 08:58 AM
of course its under supervision. He tells me what to do , and i just follow it.

hey,
i am doing the same, working as a medical assistant. but it is not illegal or anything. medical assistant needs only a degree in biological field as you don't actually treat patients. i have 3 other people working there for over 12 yrs now. They all hold medical degrees from their country. but i have a EAD and am getting paid for the job. i got LORS from the doctors there and applied to programmes too. |
