away rotation

I'm doing an away rotation in Las Vegas from 8/28 - 9/24 and housing seems to be cheaper if shared. I'm looking for other female roommates and am looking at these 2 places on Airbnb (both are a 10-15 min drive from the University Medical Center) --...

Hi, Background: I am an osteopathic medical student from the west coast currently planning out my fourth year rotations and have two options for one of the rotations occurring during audition season. Both are at DO-friendly ACGME psychiatry programs in different states away from the west coast...

Hi everyone! I hope I'm asking this in the right place. I'm wondering if not getting a LOR from an Aways is a red flag for IM? I will be in an SubI away rotation in aug/sept. I think I have an above average application for IM so I don't technically need this away. I thought it would be a good...

Sad warning to my fellow M3s applying for aways: At my med school, we have to email our registrar's office every time we submit a VSAS application to ask them to release it. I applied for one of rotations the minute that VSAS opened and listed two dates for that elective -- emailed my school...

I’m starting VSAS now for emergency medicine. Do students normally get accepted to the schools they apply? I’d like to do a rotation at UCLA, but not sure if I should apply to back-ups. How many applications do students normally submit for Southern California schools? I am going to med school...

Hi everyone, PM&R hopeful new to SDN here. Congrats to those that just matched! I'm currently planning my fourth year and have a couple questions. I am considering doing two away rotations and one at my home program, but the way my schedule is right now it would be a lot easier to do one of...

Hey Y'all, hab38 posted an awesome spreadsheet last year about feedback from away rotations at integrated PRS residency programs. Will people please post their experiences from the 2015-2016 away rotations? And how they made their decisions on which programs to do their away rotations at...

I hope this is not redundant, as I was unable to find a similar topic via search. I am currently applying for residency and did an away rotation. Going into the rotation, that program was high on my list (hence why I did the rotation), but after rotating there I am not interested in the...

When I was a med student, I wasted my time at other departments doing away rotations. I didn't know that some programs are notoriously nepotistic or just don't interview their rotators. A major point of doing an away rotation is to increase your odds of getting an interview and matching, after...
