We also accept recent graduates and professionals. Proof of eligibility is required in the form of a letter of good standing from your school or an applicable degree.
DETERMINING CREDENTIALING
Your institution must determine if AMO’s clinical experiences can be used for credit. AMO will work with your school to see if it is possible to meet school requirements. If you intend to use our clinical experiences for credit, please confirm they meet your school requirement before reserving, as AMO does not offer refunds for cancellations.
INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT
Programs are listed as either inpatient, outpatient, or inpatient/outpatient, which is a combination of the two. The inpatient clinical experiences occur in a hospital setting where visitors follow the supervising physician as they complete their rounds. Outpatient clinical experiences take place in a clinic or at the physician’s private practice. An Inpatient/Outpatient experience will consist of both clinic and hospital exposure. In this type of rotation, you gain training in both settings based on patient load. Many clinical experiences are a combination of inpatient and outpatient per U.S. medicine requirements in certain medical specialties
HANDS-ON CLINICAL EXPERIENCES VS. OBSERVERSHIPS
AMO offers both hands-on clinical experiences and observerships. Hands-on clinical experiences involve patient-focused clinical exposure. Visitors have basic interactions with patients, which may include recording medical histories and performing physical examinations. Hands-on does not mean the visitor is allowed to function as a licensed physician.
Observerships do not include patient contact. Visitors gain exposure to the U.S. medical system as they observe their supervising physician. Visitors may participate in case presentations or help make differential diagnoses if the supervising physician allows it.
Regardless of the type of clinical experience a visitor takes part in, he or she must adhere to all HIPAA and Joint Commission regulations and state regulatory guidelines. It is the responsibility of each visitor to be responsible for their actions. At no time should a visitor engage in the unsupervised practice of medicine or represent him or herself as a licensed professional. Doing so is considered a felony criminal offense.
VIRTUAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCES
In addition to our in-person observership and hands-on clinical experiences, AMO offers virtual clinical experiences. These programs allow participants to learn about the U.S. healthcare system and earn an LoR from wherever they are in the world. Virtual clinical experiences are a great option for those looking to save on transportation/living expenses and avoid the hassle of securing a visa and the immunizations needed for in-person experiences.
Telehealth is becoming increasingly commonplace in medicine as it is a safe and convenient method of providing care to patients. Gaining experience with tele health medicine early can help individuals stand out from their peers and gain new skills, which may include troubleshooting common technology issues and connecting with patients virtually.
