Internship, Volunteer research fellowship.
how about head of department research volunteer....?

this is a blood sucking position

you guys are hysterical, you just want a free labor....

[ArchivalUser]

did I say otherwise? It clearly states that it is volunteer position. that it is unpaid.Any smarter questions or comments?
Some people especially non-US graduates need US experience, need research on their CV and being exposed to clinical setting her in US. It is a great opportunity for people who are serious about it.
Physicians you will be working with are world-renown, to say it at least. Recommendation letters from those kinds of people will set you apart from many applicants.

So its better to pay for Observer-ship? Hmm

[ArchivalUser]

of course it is better than observership. At least you walk away with experience, with wonderful letters of recommendation. with bunch of abstracts with your name on it
