A question about away rotations, how much impact do they have on your chances?
My situation is as follows: I am an MD/PhD student returning to clinic to start 3rd year after completing my PhD. Because, I am starting later than typical 3rd years, I will not be able to finish my core rotations until about September and won't be able to do an away until mid October/November.
Step I score is 240s. Multiple coauthored basic science publications and a single 1st author publication. Top 10 medical school with a home urology department. No clinical grades yet.
Is an away rotation in November even worth doing in Urology? It seems that interviews are conducted rather early because of the early Match. Does anyone have any insight on the importance of aways?
