I agree with him. Also, most programs start interviewing in November and they will give you choice of dates when you do get an inerview. So, in either case, Whether you have to do it while doing this miniresidency or scheduling the interview latter, it is not an issue!

Dear Andy,
If you do get an observership there and get an interview during your course, just politely tell them that you have an interview to go to. I am sure they would not have any problem with it.
The main thing is communication. You can also schedule the interview so as to have it later. Hope This Helps

Hi Prab, this is really an amazing piece of information. Infact I have been trying for quite some time to gather information about observorships in the NY and NJ areas. Would you know of some??? Prab, even if I were to get this mini internship say for the mth of Oct, would that hamper my intervewing, cause isnt that the time when I need to be free for the interviews. Do advise me on this issue!! Thanks a mill. Andy.

[quote="loula"]Dear Dr. Prab, and Anyone else; first of all, this information was GREAT! does anyone know if other hospitals around the country offer similar accredited mini-residencies or observerships? if so... are they even advertised? I live in Raleigh NC "The" research triangle, but i can't seem to find any leads on where to start. [/quote][/quote] Contact Wake Forest and other hospitals in that area. You can also contact individual physicians and offer to help in their offices as a volunteer. Most hospitals will have a volunteer department and you can ask them for information.

You are incredible. God bless you!

[quote="jester"]Hi, Dr. Prab and anybody, who knows, What is International Post Graduate Mini-Residency program offered at Mount Sinai Medical Center ? Can anybody clarify what is it and where(supposedly in NYC, but exactly where( Bronx, Elmhurst) - couldn't find anything like that in Mount Sinai directory). You have to pay for it - 300$ for each course( at least that's what I've read on the other forum). Thank you.[/quote] [b]
Hi, From what I understand, it is an Observership and appears to be a unique and very useful thing for IMG's trying hard to get some experience in the US. This sounds like a unique opportunity for IMG's and I suggest that you make use of this unique offer before it becomes too difficult to get into!
