Hey COMPers,
A few questions about clinical rotations:
1) Do/Did you feel prepared to complete audition rotations during the fourth year after your third year training experience with COMP?
2) How does COMP assign you to a site? I have heard a lot of good things about Arrowhead in regards to volume and training opportunity but not much about the other hospitals. I would imagine many students want to rotate at Arrowhead, so are those with higher grades given preference? Or is it a random assignment?
3) Do COMP students perform fourth year elective rotations at the allopathic hospitals in LA, or are they given the shaft because they go to a DO school and are not part of the home institution? If you have done this or have secondhand knowledge of someone's experience with this, did it help with securing a desired residency?
Thanks for your help. I appreciate anything that will help me to realistically assess my options, which are COMP and PCOM.
