Hey,

Well if you have a chance to do your clinics in the US then I would choose that. It's much better to have refrences from the US. The way I get my refrences is by doing summer internships in the US. Each year the students in Warsaw are required to do a month internship. Most of the students here from North America arrange to do theirs back in the US. The good thing about doing your clinics in Poland is that you get to do a lot of hands on things. This is partly due that lawyers aren't so involved in medicine here as they are in the US. If you are thinking of coming to a EU school and then transfering for clinics, it will probably not happen. This is due that the EU has new regulations stating that students are only alowed to do no more then 6 weeks abroad. So this would only give you time to do one or two clinical rotations abroad and then you would still have to come back to finish the rest of them.

All the best,
