Clinical Electives for IMS..

[FaddyAcids]

just have couple of questions about electives..

1. Where can I get a list of hospitals that accept international medical students from?

2. If the hospital requires the visiting student to be in the last year of medical school, can he do it during the vacation before the last year? given that the externship will be in IM and he would have been already taken it..

That list is wildly inaccurate in its postings for medical students. I have been or am affiliated with many of the programs listed and they do not take international students for electives.

This appears to be simply a list of places that either 1) exist or 2) have somewhere, sometime in the past taken an international student. It certainly does not represent the current status of these programs.

There is a list here on SDN, while not complete, certainly lists enough programs to choose from:http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=350429 ValueMD also has a list where its members have been successful in obtaining electives.

To the OP, the summer before your final year is fine for electives as you would be considered a final year student.

Hmmmm...they used to have such a list, as I recall. Sorry for the wild goose chase.
