Hello,
I am going to be returning to M3 this summer after 4 years in the lab. I have the benefit of selecting whichever rotation group I want. Most likely, I will be pursuing a surgical subspecialty. Out of the 12 groups, 6 have medicine before surgery, and out of those, 3 have what I am considering "easier" starting rotations considering I haven't taken a HPI in 4 years. One of those has surgery last, which I don't think will be the best choice. The remaining 2 are:
1. Psy-OB-IM-(Christmas)-IM-Surg-FM-Workshop week-Neur-Peds
2. OB-Psy-IM-(Christmas)-Peds-Surg-Workshop week-Surg-FM-Neuro
Note that the 1st group has IM immediately before surgery, and that the 2nd has both IM and peds before surgery as well as a break during the actual surgery rotation, which I hear is very beneficial. Any thoughts on these two options? Also keep in mind I can choose any group so if you have other advice that these 2 groups don't address I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
G
