ATSU-SOMA ~CHC Thread~

[IslandStyle808]

Just keep in mind that SOMA is always changing and improving, so what you hear from a current student may not be the same for the entering class that you're applying for.

Thanks for the input brakk026. I will keep what you said in mind since I will be apply this cycle.

So, if I choose Hawaii as my CHC, does the curriculum allow me to stay there for the remaining three years of school until graduation? Am I able to do my 3rd and 4th rotations in Hawaii (at different clinics) or am I required to do rotations in different states?

I wonder how competitive it is to get Hawaii.

It is possible to set up all the rotations on the island of Oahu and most likely is the same way for the CHCs in other states. You definitely will have all the core rotations there for 3rd year but I am not sure if you have all the elective rotations you desire on Oahu (you may need to fly out for that).

I would think it is competitive but, as SLC has stated, cost of living is high here. So competition for this spot is not that great.

Could anyone provide the website for the Washington D.C. CHC? If I understood correctly, there are 10 CHC's without Alabama; correct? (Ohio, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Brooklyn, South Carolina, Seattle, Tucson, California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington D.C.) TIA.

are there any residency positions (primary care residencies) at the CHCs?

All the CHC sites are pretty small. I don't think people do their residencies there.

I believe there is a FM residency at the DC CHC. Check out Unity Health's website

Just out of curiousity, is the Hawaii CHC still around? Didn't see it on the website.

No. It got replaced with Chicago

Can someone please list the sites that require a lot of traveling, thank you

You should ask this question in the SOMA thread where more people are active

If only Hawaii could replace Chicago itself.
