• An observership refers to a clinical experience during which the applicant shadows or follows the preceptor at their hospital, clinic, or other medical practice as they go about their daily routine to observe the style and particulars of patient management. In this type of experience, the applicants are not involved in direct patient care.  

• A clinical elective in the USA allows you to experience the US health system firsthand. It is undertaken by the third or fourth-year medical students at the hospital or medical school of its affiliates in the US. This means that you have to take patient case histories, perform physical examinations and present your case to an attending physician. You also get access to the medical records system of the hospital.
