so here's my dilemma.
I haven't had a peds rotation in over a year and that was outpatient (3 weeks long)....my last peds inpatient rotation was 1 1/2 years ago (and it was only 2 weeks long). the majority of my 4th year rotations were in adult medicine because I thought I'd be doing just IM.
I matched med-peds but am not sure which i'll be starting with come july (medicine or peds). I feel pretty rusty/weak on peds and feel I should do another rotation as a med student so I don't look like a complete idiot come July. Here's what the rest of my year looks like:
April - MICU
May - can take off, or do any elective. Was thinking of doing Peds ER (15 shifts) or NICU (optional call, no weekends)
June- graduation
what would you do for May? Most people would say relax, but would you still do so given my situation?
