away

Note: I have mod approval for this post per @GoSpursGo I just released RateMyProfessor for med student rotations at www.rotationsinfo.com. We have a bunch of data for anything about rotations (housing, meals, best attending, etc). It's mainly meant for helping choose away rotations, but we...

Figured we could use a place to discuss how applications have been faring for everyone this year Anyone been lucky enough to snag a spot anywhere?

Hey all! Current third year student with an interest in family medicine. I'm really hoping to match out of state and was wondering if anyone had any tips on that or insight into whether that's more difficult to do in family medicine. Ideally, I'm hoping for Colorado or New Mexico area since my...

Trying to narrow down which programs would be best to do an away at. Leaning east coast, open to anywhere, thinking community based. I'm at an institution that highly recommends that we do 2+ away rotations, so please no "aways aren't beneficial" replies.

I'm looking at USF as a potential residency location for PM&R, I'd like to do an away rotation there to try and up my chances, but I can't seem to find out if/which rotation is the best one for that. I found MEL 8359 - Intro to Physical Med & Rehab, Neurology on VSAS says that it's...

So lately I have been hearing a lot of people say that one thing that you need to match on competitive residencies (like ortho) is "strong away rotations". What makes an away rotation "strong"? Also, will it have some effect if it is made at another school in my state vs if I go to another state...

You guys have been awesome in answering my questions and as I am making my schedule a large one remains: Away rotations. I go to school in the east but I am from the Midwest. My goal is to eventually end up in Texas/California because I have friends/family there. I was originally thinking...

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...

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...
