AMO offers 15 entirely inpatient clinical experiences at Saint Anthony Hospital in Chicago, including internal medicine, general surgery, and cardiology. The ACGME-affiliated hospital is also affiliated with a variety of hospitals such as University of Chicago Medicine and UI Health.
Rotate in the hospital and clinic setting with our six hospital-based medical observerships through Lompoc Valley Medical Center in California in cardiology, family medicine, general surgery, and pediatrics. The cardiology, general surgery, and pediatrics programs all have inpatient exposure.
My experience with AMO was special for me. They were not only my guide abroad but also have become my family and best friends. I haven't felt lost at all not even for a minute. Thanks to their amazing communication skills and humbleness. They provide coaches and advisors who help you not only choose your rotations but also accommodation, transportation, and a lot more! I took two rotations with AMO and I am absolutely happy with my US clinical experience.

Attended a clinical rotation in neurology in Buffalo back in 2018 and had the experience of my life. AMO opportunity definitely helped me throughout this process. It was easy, convenient and reasonable in terms of cost. Will definitely go for another rotation through AMO.

A letter of recommendation (LoR) is a document earned during an observership program that is generally used for the Match and written on official letterhead. It provides insight on an applicant’s character, experience, and skills from the perspective of someone other than the applicant.
Observerships in the USA can be awesome, but you don’t have to take our word for it! Margil, a foreign medical graduate from India who participated in an AMO international observership program, shares it all in his blog post. Although he was initially unsure of whether or not to take a chance and sign up for a US clinical rotation, Margil had an amazing experience.
You’ve graduated from medical school. You’ve completed observerships in the USA, received letters of recommendation (LORs), passed the USMLE, and sent in your applications to the National Residency Match Program (NRMP). Now what? Most likely, interviews.
We recently got in touch with Besmira, a medical resident from Albania who completed an observership with AMO in 2017. Since then, Besmira started her medical residency in Albania. She hopes to participate in another medical observership program with AMO.
Compared to other countries, the United States system of healthcare is considered to be complex. The US does not provide universal healthcare for its citizens. Instead, there are a number of private and public institutions in place that pay for the healthcare of US citizens.
While COVID-19 has been responsible for the cancelation of many events and life experiences, it has not put a pause on medical learning. During May, we had a number of medical trainees complete physician observerships within the US. Many of these experiences contained aspects of telehealth.
