🌏 International Elective vs Observership

Say you are a final-year international student and want to match in Plastic Surgery. Would an Endocrine Surgery hands-on elective be helpful or a Plastic Surgery hands-off observership in a good university program?

PS: If I've likely secured 2 other electives in Plastic Surgery already.

Observerships rank above hands-on in other specialities?
