Does observership carry equal weightage as that of a clerkship?
Do we need to take our step-1 before applying for a clerkship?

A US hospital based Clerckship carries far more weightage than an observership because a Clerckship is a part of one's undergraduate education and is a hands-on experience.
No, u donot need to take USMLE Step-1 before applying for a Clerckship.Some hospitals may need the applicants to take TOEFL before applying for a Clerckship.
Good Luck!
