Hello everyone,

I am a D2 and I am fortunate enough to be taking part in an externship currently. However, I am also interested in attending an externship at the end of my D2 year which is in May as I have a week off prior to the summer semester. Are there any OMFS programs that would be willing to allow a D2 to extern (specifically in the Midwest if possible)?

Thank you for your response! I wasn’t sure for case because they said on the website 3rd and 4th years. I only have a week off during this time, do you think that’s sufficient time or should I try to extern another time? I am interested in Case’s program so what do you think would be best?

Email the coordinator of the program(s) you’re interested in, explaining your interest and situation. The worst they can say is no.

We’ve had D1s extern before. Our externships are Monday-Friday. Don’t do more than one week at a time.

Mind if I DM you with an externship question?

Thank you for your advice, I will try to do that for the externships moving forward.

Thank you, I will try to contact them soon. What do externs do and what is expected of them?

Ok sounds great I will plan to do an externship for a week. What do externs do and what is expected of them?

Any advice for externships would be appreciated! Thank you to everyone who is chiming in.
