I'm approaching my 4th year in a couple of months and I know a lot of students are looking to apply to away rotations before the new cycle begins mainly for the purpose of matching into their desired specialty. I wanted to know if I could take an away elective (unrelated to my specialty of choice) at a hospital near my hometown. Basically live with my parents for the month, spend some time there, and commute to the hospital for a month. I was planning to do this after I match in 2016 for the month of April. Is this not uncommon for students to do? Has anyone done this?
