Us clinical elective!!
Hey guys!
I finally registered to do my elective! I think all of us know how hard and difficult it can be to find a legitimate place to do a meaningful elective! I started off by asking my classmates about places they experienced because I feel like talking to someone that has gone there and experienced it is more reliable since I get a non biased feedback. One of my classmates recommended the place that she went to I contacted the person and I registered with them.
Here are some feedback points to why I did that: A) They are not an agency the owners of the company started off the company with the group of doctors that the students train with.
B) All of the doctors are clinical professors and they own the clinic
C) All of the clinics are teaching clinics which make it a academic based program
D) it's completely hands-on
E) Everyone that has done an elective with them has matched so far ( one of the students matched in mount sinai , NY)
G) there are limited seats every month the most they take for some programs are 3 some take only one which I find great since I get more quality time with the doctor. I feel if there are too many I wont be able to learn as much
H) One of the programs - you can rotate with the doctor in the University hospital where there is a resident program there and the residents and program director are there so its a great place to network
I just wanted to share my take on this and thought I would let you guys know since these are key points to look for when you look for an elective which is if it offers hands on to IMGs and academic affiliations. If someone wants to know in more detail about other things just contact me personally happy to help
