“The exposure and experience I received during my externship was very helpful. It gave me an idea how the medical system works in USA. I am an old FMG (passed 10 years ago) and chances of getting interviews were slim. I feel my externship definitely made a big difference in getting me more interviews. The recommendation letters from the doctors I worked with were really impressive. Today I am in my 2nd year of family medicine residency in one of the best hospitals in Florida. I am very grateful to everyone at FMG portal for making my dreams come true.“ – J.M., MD (Placed in Residency at Bayfront Hospital, St. Petersburg, FL)

“I spent 3 months with Dr. P. in Chicago for a general internal medicine externship. He was such a wonderful teacher with a great personality. I had the chance to meet many clinical cases which really helped in recovering my ability to interact with patients in clinical setting, which is a very precious experience and a prerequisite to match with a program.“ – D.Z., MD (Placed in Residency at USD Sanford Medical School, SD)
Multiple Letter of Recommendation Possibilities
Comprehensive. It is a fact that the longer the duration of your hands-on clinical externship or elective, and the greater the number of LORs obtained will greatly improve your chances of being matched. If you would like to complete an externship or elective with more than one Attending Physician and/or specialty, we will work with you to secure a schedule that suits your needs.
“I got matched. Thank you so much for everything you did for me. I will spread good words for you guys whenever I can. Thank you again.“ – D.R., MD (Placed in Residency at St. Luke’s Hospital, OH)

“The Attending Physicians were very attentive and thorough when explaining medical procedures to me.

Quality. Unfortunately, many programs will limit your experience for their own interests by placing as many FMGs as possible per Attending. You will not find this at FMG Portal
“My clinical externship arranged through FMG portal was a great and helpful experience. I worked with a teaching attending physician who is affiliated with a US medical school, residency program and a teaching hospital, thus providing me, an International Medical Graduate (IMG) client, with critical hands-on experience including patient history assessment, patient physical examination, complete interaction and dialogue with attending physician, experience in the US clinical environment, charting/SOAP note taking. The externship has given me a chance to apply what I have learned in the classroom in a real-world setting. It also provided me with a highly valuable letter of recommendation. Thank you FMG portal and thank you Victoria for flawless cooperation.“ -M.K., MD (Placed in Residency at Caritas Carney Hospital, MA)
