Hey Guys,
So I'm a rising 3rd year American IMG who was planning on doing an away rotation in 2 weeks that was suddenly cancelled on me. Needless to say I was upset by the news. I only have one month off to do a planned away rotation and it seems too late to have anything lined up. I have mid-November to mid-December free. I might be able to scramble for a observership but I would like to know is it worth it? Will I get any good experience out of it, could I get a letter of rec from it? I really don't like the whole "hands free" and can't touch the patients or do procedure approach. I do all my rotations in the US and will have my ER rotation done at my main hospital and will get a SLOR and a couple of LOC from the ER doctors there.
Even though it's a long shot does anyone know of a program that might accept me for an away rotation?
Thanks for the advise.
