Externships are clinical rotations in the United States which allow you to have hands-on experience with US patients. Program directors not only go by scores on the USMLE exams, but a recommendation letter from the doctor under whom you did your externship. This letter can add a great advantage to your application package! There are many students who have scored less on the boards and compensated with a good externship experience. Some universities mention it as a requirement for a complete application package. You will have to be ECFMG certified if you want to do an externship when you are a medical graduate. Externship can only be an added feather !
