some of my friends used Chicago clerkships. Upside is you're guaranteed US lor. Downside is depending on what specialty you're applying for you might end up with mostly outpatient experiences. Just make sure before you pay that you will be guarantted hospital experience and not just.office based encounters.

@defeatthebeast. Honestly I think most of these agencies are shady. They prey on us desperate imgs and charge an arm and a leg for a questionable rotation. I got my usce by contacting img doctors at the hospitals near me and after getting cleared by the hospital administration I did one month in the icu. During that month I ended up talking to other doctors in the hospital and worked with them after my icu observership. Granted these were hospitals without residency programs they still got me the lors I needed. If you have the money though I would go for a residency sponsored observership. I know for a fact that Cleveland clinic Wayne state and UCF have programs available. I was told by someone that mayo clinic has one in Arizona as well.

Chicago Clerkship is way better than AmeriClerkship mostly because AmeriClerkship is run by a scam artist.

Chicago Clerkship provides a decent LOR but not so much experiences. But the doctors do teach though but it is mostly outpatient.
