Hi Dr US,
Thanks for your response. I,m excited to join this trend. I am an IMG working as a medical assistant in an outpatient cardiology office which gives me the opportunity to interract with patients, take history, Order entry, EMR, performing stress testing for patients. Can this in any way be considered as a USCE? Thanks For your sincere response.

Please scratch Jefferson University from your list...
here's what their website says:

Observership Policy
Due to team size regulations and in order to preserve the educational integrity of our residents and students, we will no longer be offering obseverships in the Department of Medicine. Thank you.
