Bimaristan hospitals and user Jagged 85
[edit]The reference relating to Bimaristan hospitals leads to an article entitled Education in Encyclopaedia Britannica that mentions neither the word Bimaristan nor the word externship. The Bimaristan article has a note about misused sources relating to user Jagged 85 and a subsequent cleanup. The claim relating to Bimaristan hospitals may very well be true, so I have left it in.
I think there is a proper way of relating this present article to the Jagged 85 cleanup, but it is beyond my skill so I have not attempted it.
From the history of this article I can see that the reference to Bimaristan was indeed added by Jagged 85 on 12:49 30 September 2008.
Would anyone like to take this further? FrankSier (talk) 17:03, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
What is the difference between an externship and an internship?
[edit]What is the difference between an externship and an internship?
The below is from google's AI (which I deeply dislike).
"An externship is a short-term, observational work-based learning experience, usually lasting from a single day to a few weeks, where students shadow a professional to learn about a particular field. Unlike a traditional internship where you perform tasks, an externship focuses on shadowing, observing daily operations, and gaining insight into a profession, often unpaid and sometimes eligible for academic credit. The goal is to explore career options, build your network, and confirm a career path aligns with your interests and goals."
Unfortunately these smooth words appear to contradict information in the article: For legal externships under 304(d) (field placements), tasks are apparently allowed or even required.
The writing in "Legal externships" is not very tight.

- I'm here to second the request. The article should explain the difference between an internship and an externship. If there is no difference, then a merge seems desirable. Mgnbar (talk) 17:20, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
