Case Description
The clinical rotation in the US introduces international students to American Medicine as they would experience it in a hospital-based residency programme. It also familiarizes and acclimates an international medical graduate to the practice of medicine in an American clinical setting.
Case Summary
- The USMLE journey consists of four parts: Step 1, Step 2 CK, OET, and Step 3. Completing Step 1, having a medical degree, OET certification, and Step 2 CK allows one to become ECFMG certified and apply for residency programs. Letters of recommendation (LORs) are crucial for residency applications, with US-based hospital LORs carrying more weight.
