externship
Short professional observation
An externship is a short-term training program where students observe and learn in a professional setting, typically unpaid.
Common in law, medicine, and other fields, externships emphasize observation over hands-on work, distinguishing them from internships: She completed an externship at a local hospital.
The term blends "external" with the "-ship" of internship.
