TheOne - 05-23-08 15:32 Almost all hospitals in the US have Sub-Internships. But what is Sub-I?
"A sub-internship is a clinical rotation of a Fourth-Year Medical STUDENTS in the United States medical education system usually at a different hospital than the student's medical school affiliations. A student will generally select an elective "sub"-internship, where the student will perform the role of an intern or first year medical graduate. The rotation is generally pursued in the field appropriate to career interest. For example, a sub-I can be taken in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, or Obstetrics and Gynecology. In this way, the student can experience a glimpse of their future career without the burden of full responsibility".
Bottomline.. you and me are graduates, we do not qualify for it!

Re: Sub internships TheOne - 05-25-08 03:01 Can you be more precise and give me an example?
I know what externship means but I need to know what exactly are you thinking of.

When you are paid as an intern to do the work of an intern is because you are an intern. An externship is paid by you and you don't do the work of an intern but of a Sub-I.
