Observership-application season is now closed for the 2025-2026 observership season.

Each year, we have limited openings for medical-school graduates to observe in our Combined Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program for up to 2 weeks to allow participants to gain insight into the American health-care system, learn about clinical practices, and gain understanding without directly participating in patient care.

Details

• Candidates must be genuinely interested in applying to an Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program and/or interested in working in primary care.
• The observership takes place in the Med/Peds outpatient clinic only.
• The observer candidate must meet minimum requirements of USMLE Step scores > 50th percentile, graduation date < 5 years, and meet all Hurley observership guidelines at the time of application. See standard practice.

When application season opens in April, application information will appear on this page.
