Thread: cilnical clerkship

I am a IMG with MBBS from India taking step 1 and need to know if Clinical Clerkship as for the US graduates is the same as Internship for the Indian medical schools.
If not, what actually do we need to write in the application form for the Clinical Clerkships column.

please help.

Hi Sweta,
Clinical Clerkship is the same as what we call it "internship" in India PLUS ward postings during Under Graduate Curriculum. Just send an attached printed paper which mentions your ward postings during UG ship plus Internship postings if at all you have finished latter one. It is not necessary to be verified from college side, so don't worry

Feel free to ask Query related to Step 1
Good Luck !
