OBSERVERSHIP/EXTERNSHIP LIST

Here is an exhaustive list that I GOT from an EAMTAR thread. It has been copy pasted from there.
The plan is to update I think so that's its recent. Let's keep posting new openings you know or also
let us know if any listing in this post and not active anymore. I am pinning this post and will keep
editing it as I keep getting new info. Also, please keep adding your friends who are applying next
year to this page. Thank you. Here is THE THREAD made by an anonymous person.

This is years of my hard work. People just REMEMBER one thing. Don't forget the BASICS. I had
seen people who never respond after they get the RESIDENCY. But don't forget what you were Few
years back-struggling there to FIND A WAY. Inculcate the HABIT OF HELPING OTHERS.
P.S.: Even now many people dont read what i wrote on top. They just want to get away with the list.
Try their chances and relax back. So just think once. I may not change you. But i can TRY that at
least. Comments and Critics are WELCOME. I love them.
