American Hands-On Externship/Clerkship

Somerset Family Medicine

2023-2024 Price for the externship/rotation/clerkship/NP/Medical Students/Pre-med students.

October-May: $500 a week (minimum 4 weeks)

June-September: $750 a week (minimum 4 weeks)

The price covers numerous hours of administrative work, many days of extensive training and teaching on EMR, and acquainting you to the field of family medicine and the American Health System.

The price is fair, and it is lower than what the Caribbean schools charge for a course. Also, it is lower than other programs such as Drexel, which charges over $7000. Harvard externship/observership courses cost over $9000.

Spots are limited due to high demand especially now that USMLE step 1 is pass/fail. Programs want USCE. 

You can start any day convenient for you.

Step 2: After we receive the above, Dr. Jaddour or our student coordinator Dalal, will email you back to see how interested are you and if you have any further questions, and if you want to be called by phone to discuss further and finally if you are ready for a contract/orientation/payment.  

Step 3: We will email you the contract, orientation, and how to make a Payment:

Full payment ($1995) will need to be made in advance after you sign the contract and orientation. We will accept payment via the secured payment method listed on our official website (drjaddou.com).  Do not ask for a discount because the price is already low plus everyone will need to be charged the same. After payment/contract/orientation is received you will get a letter of acceptance and you will be placed on the schedule.  Furthermore, after acceptance, another package will be emailed to you.
