Definitely clerkship rather than observationship although as a foreign med student, I am not sure if you would be eligible for clerkship. The term clerkship in the US means you are actually doing the rotation for credits. Observationship just means shadowing. Check out VSAS website again this is for US med student I think.

Clerkships or clinical electives are better because they're hands on. You can only do them before you graduate. Most require step 1 scores.

For electives, I think there's a website that lists them all and their requirements. Idk much more because I'm a graduate and planning on USCE after getting ECFMG certified. You could also look up individual programs and email them. They even have companies that can get you electives but I hear they're expensive.

Be wary of those third party companies.
