Does anyone know where there are places that take visiting students for 3rd year clerkships, regardless of whether your respective school has an affiliation with them? I am a third year and suddenly, because the hospital that I was doing a clerkship at no longer affiliates with my school I am "clerkship-less" so to speak. Now, my school is trying to place me somewhere, but, they are also giving me the option of finding something as well. So far, any place I look does not take third year students that don't have affiliations with their hospital. HELP?!?

University programs will be out, try community programs. Also, are you allowed to rotate with a preceptor? You could try just finding a physician and doing whatever he/she does, be it outpatient or inpatient.
