| 7/30/2021 16:15:16 | Tharika | 3/4/2019 | Internal Medicine | Houston | Finding clerkship for an international medical graduate is not an easy task! For someone like me who had no family in the US, I didn’t want to go through the hassle of looking for a clerkship while I was in the US alone.

It might be because of the platform of rotation rather than the preceptor. Patients weren’t comfortable enough, which is understandable. If I could do it all over again, I would choose to attend in-person rotation. | I believe the major benefit was that I didn’t have to personally attend the clinic for the experience. Dr G and her husband tried their best to make me part of their team. They called me on whatsapp and made me talk to their patients which I think was pretty great on their part. I felt the conversations were informal. Although, I did learn quite a few things about how outpatient clinics work. | I’ve gotten an LOR from Dr G, which I think adds strength to my application. | Yes | Agree – 4 | I’m very happy with the customer service provided by Medclerkships. Dan checked up on me during the rotation, making sure everything was going good. He contacted the preceptors multiple times on my behalf when I wasn’t able to reach out, which is so kind of him. I would say my experience was great partly because of Dan. Thanks again for all your help! | RES303FM | ||||

Therefore, I was looking for additional US Clinical Experience. A friend recommended MedClerkships and I booked two externships with the agency. Unfortunately, right after that, the covid pandemic started and travel became impossible. MedClerkships was very flexible when it came to changing the start date. Eventually, they arranged for my rotations to be done virtually. | Despite the virtual nature of them, they still provided a decent insight into primary care in the United States and enabled me to obtain much needed recommendation letters from US physicians. I ended up using those LoRs at most of the places I got interviews from and one of them at the place where I ultimately matched, a university-affiliated program in NYC. | They also provided the CV/PS editing service. After the match, the program required me to obtain updated copies of the LoRs and MedClerkships helped me get in touch with the attending and obtain the LoR. | Yes | Strongly Agree – 5 | Overall, MedClerkships delivered all the services we agreed on and was very flexible during the unprecedented time of the first covid wave.

He definitely went above and beyond while helping me out with my application, and would schedule a phone call whenever I had any concerns and doubts. He was super reassuring, especially when I needed the reassurance. There are many organisations that try fleecing IMGs and don’t provide good services, I have had my fair share of interactions with them. MedClerkships is definitely NOT one of those, I got a whole lot more than what I paid for! | MA300IM | ||||

I worked mainly with Dr S and received both guidance and enough space to be able to work-up patients on my own (with oversight). I enjoyed learning about various conditions such as asthma exacerbation, CHF exacerbation, opioid overdose and various bites and wounds . Moreover, the entire staff in the emergency department was absolutely lovely. I was even allowed to assist in some nursing procedures and overall learned a lot about the workflow in the ED. | I value the guidance and also the autonomy I was given to interview and work-up patients on my own. This was one of the best hands on experiences I have had. | While I have worked in a U.S. emergency department before (research), I have never worked up a patient in the ED.

| 11/3/2021 11:41:07 | Gurraj | 10/4/2021 | Psychiatry | Houston | I had a phenomenal experience with my preceptor. A specific experience that stood out for me was one day during morning rounds, the preceptor told me to take the lead with all the patient interviews and follow-ups and that was the first time when I truly felt that calling inside saying “this is the right field for you”. I took the initiative and saw every patient that day. Following days when things weren’t extremely hectic, the preceptor would let me take the lead again. Not only was that important in refining my skills in history taking and mental status exam taking, but helped build my confidence a lot. | When you watch this preceptor in his element, practicing Psychiatry and engaging with his patients, you really appreciate the fundamentals of Psychiatry. The preceptor was an expert at communication skills while showing empathy that you’re left amazed at how he was able to get the necessary information from the patient for a diagnosis and further treatment planning. It’s such a benefit because you appreciate and realize that this is how you would want to emulate yourself as a psychiatrist. | Since the preceptor was very well established and had interviewed candidates for residency in the past, he would sometimes ask you questions he would ask in residency interviews. When I tell you those questions really made you think, they definitely made you think outside of the box. It helped me mentally prepare myself for any curve ball questions I probably won’t see coming, but will be ready for now. | Yes | Strongly Agree – 5 | I was extremely happy with the service provided by Medclerkships. Not only were they quick in replying back, they would assist me immediately whenever I had any questions or doubts.

| 6/30/2023 19:40:37 | saurodeep | 6/5/2023 | Gastroenterology | Lake Jackson, TX | On 28th june , 2023 , Dr M surprised me by asking if I would like to join him and his family for Eid celebration.He took me in his car after he had wrapped up work at the office,sharing lots of stories and tales of wisdom along the way.After we reached his sister’s place, he personally introduced me to each and every member of his family,who greeted me very warmly. Afterwards,we sat down for dinner and he gave me a lot of tips regarding applying for residency. Later,he took me to his house to spend the night so that I would not have to drive all the way back to my hotel (60 miles away). The next morning ,he even made me a cup of coffee, boiled eggs and cookies.The fact that a person of such great caliber would be so humble and down to earth as to not only invite a stranger to his home , who he had known for just a few weeks,but also make breakfast,touched my heart and soul | I have learnt a lot of things for my mentor Dr M, such as how we should treat a patient completely (physical,spiritual and emotional)and not just their symptoms.He taught me how to carefully elicit history,teasing out certain findings that would help me clinch the diagnosis.He painstakingly explained each and every sign and symptom and also asked me questions so that I would remember better.He gave me an assignment everyday so that I could discuss that topic with him the next day.He showed me how to handle the EMR(electronic medical record).Finally,he showed me a lot of endoscopic procedures,some of which I had never seen before,and also explained the findings to me Dr M is one of the best doctor and human being I have ever met , and I wish he had been my teacher in medical school.I strongly recommend others to try a rotation at lake jackson with him and his team(who are extremely smart,supportive and kind as well ) | The knowledge imparted upon me by Dr M will help me immensely in my preparation for USMLE step 3 , along with providing me with a smooth introduction into the inner workings of the american healthcare system.Watching him perform endoscopies quickly and efficiently inculcated a sense of calm control in me,and motivated me to also pursue my dream of becoming a gastroenterologist in the United States more seriously | Yes | Strongly Agree – 5 | I’m very happy with the prompt service provided by Medclerkship. My only request is to have a response system on weekends/holidays, in case any student wants to reach out regarding something urgent.In my case, I did not know where I had to report on my first day,and I had a difficult time trying to find that out since no one was answering emails/texts/calls.I was finally able to get a hold of Mr Dan , who immediately gave me the required details | TX300GA | ||||

With his comprehensive preparations, we were able to be exposed to many well-classified cases. Dr. T can answer all our question immediately with sufficient evidence. | Besides the knowledge I learned, what impressed me most was the importance of “carefulness” for a pathologist. Dr. T always mentioned, the diagnosis from pathologists significantly affected, most of time, “determined” the therapeutic strategies of other parts of the medical care. | During this rotation, Dr. T tried to generate “good habits” for us. For example, he would stop us if we gave a quick “diagnosis” of the cases and asked us to start from the “descriptions”, such as the locations, staining methods and features. We kept on adding descriptions until we have on more information, then we could give our diagnosis. It is true that for a pathologist, especially as a rookie, I should never consider the real cases were “straight forward”, and we are “smart “enough. Carefulness is the priority. | Yes | Strongly Agree – 5 | Yes. Fast response and nice. | RES302PTH | ||||

| 10/7/2023 12:57:53 | Shanyan | 5/19/1984 | Pathology | Decatur and Marietta, GA | Although I had always known that attention to detail is vital in pathology, I saw its importance in surprising ways. For example, I noted that when an “unexpected” piece of tissue appeared on a slide, the pathologists did not disregard it as mere “contamination”. Instead, I learned to track such anomalies back to the source, auditing experimental procedures, comparing slides with others in the set, and meticulously recording all details. | I learned to start my analysis considering all possible factors until I accumulate enough information to arrive at a diagnosis with confidence. | Such attention to detail improves quality in our samples and procedures, and, ultimately, enhances patient safety, develops “good habits” for the pathology residency training. | Yes | Strongly Agree – 5 | GA300PTH | |||||
