Medical Residency Audition Opportunities for Medical Graduates & Certain Senior Medical Students
AmeriClerkships Medical Society (AMS), in partnerships with various Graduate Medical Education (GME) departments is proud to offer rare opportunity for medical graduate members of AMS to enroll in Postgraduate Subinternships (PGSIs) in over 30 specialties, and audition in hopes of being offered a residency interview. PGSIs are designated as AMS-PGY1CONNECT sites, meaning that AMS members have secured residency interviews and even “matched” into such hospital(s). PGSIs are ‘VERIFIED’ sites, which indicates the existence of a clinical affiliation between AMS and the host GME. Additionally as a benefit of being an AmeriClerkships member, PGSIs may be labeled as “Audition” during the months of August to December of each year, which will ensure added attention by various residency team members, including Chief Residents and Program Directors, while being evaluated for a residency interview. Requirements for “auditions”:
- Make an official request to “audition” in writing at the time of enrollment
- Become fully credentialed at AmeriClerkships
- Apply to that residency program during that particular Match season
- Available only from September to December of each year
An “audition” type subinternship may lead to a residency “interview”, if the PGSI has:
- Exhibited excellent clinical and patient care skills during their subinternship
- Passed USMLE Step 1 (or Comlex Level 1)
- Proven that they genuinely want to be residents at that residency program
Although exceptions may be made on a case by case basis, a AMS members who “Matched” into a PGSI Hospital’s residency program, have:
- Completed 12-28 weeks of PGSI, with superb performance
- Secured 2-4 LORs directly from PGSI supervising attendings
- U.S. citizenship or permanent residency by time residency starts
- Passed USMLE Step 3
Benefits
- Rotate with top teaching attending physicians, residents, medical students and even Program Directors.
- Be involved in patient care teams in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
- Learn to participate as an integral member of a medical team.
- Refine history-taking and physical examination skills.
- Learn to formulate a problem list and prioritize medical problems.
- Learn the judicious selection of laboratory and ancillary tests.
- Learn to institute drug and supportive therapy.
- Learn to manage acute and chronic medical problems including the use of consultative services.
- Learn to develop definitive plans for ongoing care and follow-up of dismissed patients.
- Request for an “Audition” rotation (for increased attention by residency team, in consideration for being offered an interview; interviews are of course, not guaranteed)
Upon satisfactory completion of each PGSI clinical block, AMS PGSI will be evaluated based on the 6 ACGME Core Competencies, and may request a performance-based letter of recommendation on official GME/teaching hospital letterhead.

“Thanks to the opportunities provided by AmeriClerkships, I was fortunate to secure an interview at where I completed my postgraduate sub-internship. I gained valuable clinical experience to build upon the foundation I gained during medical school and I am appreciative for the opportunity.”

Matched into PGSI Hospital’s Psychiatry Residency; March 2016“I had the opportunity to enroll in the sub-internship program. Throughout my sub-internship, I gained valuable clinical skills, knowledge and insight into the life of a first year resident and subsequently, secured an interview. Had I not been a part of the AmeriClerkships family, I would never have had this wonderful opportunity – Thank you! I highly recommend AmeriClerkships to any international medical graduate looking to gain more experience to stand out during the residency application process.”
