Repost from another thread (not sure if it's allowed) but does anyone know how the lottery system works for choosing rotation sites? Also if there are pros/cons to each track (north jersey vs. south jersey), as in the intensity/quality/scope of the clinical areas, whether didactics or teaching differ, which is better for a particular specialty? I couldn't find any information specifically about these questions by searching so if someone has experience please let me know!
I could literally write a 5 page paper on each rotation site. Ones to choose from are Jersey City (Christ Hospital), Morristown/Overlook, Kennedy (South Jersey by school), Ocean County, Vineland, and Atlantic City which just opened up today. Just basics, each area has their own specialties and you can rotate through all of them once your electives hit in 4th year (pending on spots). For your core rotations you pick one in a lottery system format as we will be doing soon. I am not going to go through all of them but all of the sites will cover just about any specialty you want. From what it sounds like, each site will also help you get into residencies in their hospital if you show dedication and hard work. If you have a specific specialty in mind you can feel free to PM me. I may delay in getting back to you due to my exams but I promise, I will get back to you.
