clinical rotations

Hi there, I'm a 3rd year student at St. George's University and we spend our fourth year at a partner school in the US, so I have to decide on which one I would like to apply for very soon! I know that clinical rotations are daunting and all have very long hours with little/no work-life balance...

As a foreign medical student, this is my first time (and i believe it'd gonna be my last time) trying to apply clinical rotation in US...however, i found that the appplication date was kinda confusing...according to VSLO, the application deadline was stated as 60 days before admission, however...

I'm a current M2 getting ready to start rotations soon. I am interested to see if anyone has used or seen any helpful items/gadgets that have been useful on the wards. I've seen clipboards with references on them, is there anything else out there that might be similar and helpful?

Hello fellow sufferers. Having now finished pre-clinical coursework, I am feeling apprehensive about entering a domain which requires greater social grace and know-how. In particular, I struggle with communicating confidently and recognizing cues that are not directly spoken. Though I have had...

Okay, this is not a troll post. My school is having me choose between two rotation sites. One hospital (hospital A) is arguably prettier, and in a better location, but it doesn't have any residencies that I'm interested in. The other hospital (hospital B) is in a worse location, but has several...

Hi everyone, I was wondering: How many hours did it take you to fully complete vetprep (approx)? How many months prior to the NAVLE should I start studying? I've heard anywhere from 3-6 months. During clinical rotations, how many hours a day were you aiming to study for? and was that hard...

I’m in a dilemma between picking a clinical rotation site for 3rd/4th year. I have the option to go to a site that has a bunch of residents (almost all core) including EM residents but it’s really far from any family/friends. I’m 90% sure I want to pursue EM. second location is about 15...

Hi all, I've posted previously about thinking about going to a European medical school after finishing up undergrad in the states. In short, I ended up going back to my home country and am now a 1st year attending Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. Studies last 6 years and each summer we...

Good evening everybody, could you help me please find elective rotation in the US in February or March 2019 ?? I am a final year medical student from Egypt, USMLE step 1 score : 248 and TOEFL iBT score: 108 and I have a valid B1 visa. Looking for any elective rotation in any specialty that...

My school is having a going away celebration for the current MS2/rising MS3 students before they head off for their clinical years, and I wanted to get a gift for my Big Sib. What would you guys recommend? What is something useful to have during third and fourth year rotations? Thanks!

Hi all, I was hoping to elicit some advice from the SDN community out there for choosing M3 electives. I'm a rising M3, about to take Step 1, so this isn't something I want to be particularly worried about rn, but it's hard not to be because my school just gave us our clerkship schedules for...

Hey guys, I am currently a student in a DPT program, and its about that time when we start thinking about rotations and put our requests down. I am strongly considering going the cash based route after graduation, and wanted your thoughts on what types of outpatient rotations would best set me...

I am an final year international medical student, willing to pursue IM residency. My quick question is which one is better: 1. Total 2700$ for 8 weeks - to work with a cardiologist and a gastroenterologist at a private clinic 4 weeks each- total 8 weeks. 2. 5250$ for 8 weeks to work at FIU...

Do schools usually have/enforce any rules, suggestions against or discourage students on rotations dating residents in the same core clinical sites? Thanks.

I'm thinking about getting a part time job but I start clinical rotations in a month. Is it a good idea? even if Im only working 20hrs/week or only on the weekends?

Hi Everyone, I'm a MS3 and quickly learning about the subjectivity when it comes to MS3 grades. I have received grades for 3 clerkships (Neuro, Peds, IM) all of which I received a HP (my school is F/P/HP/H). I'm a little frustrated with the evaluations (which make up the bulk of our grade)...

Hi guys, I am getting ready to start a DPT program and have to answer some questions. I will be attending a program in Arizona, but would like to move to California and practice out there. Do you guys think it would necessary to do an out of state rotation outside the state, or do you think I...

Hey guys. I will be starting my 3rd year now and need to know if Rotation exams will be similar to step 2 CK or should I be more worried about CK? Same materials for rotation exams for CK can do the trick or not?

Hi, I'm a med school applicant and I'm wondering if you get to rotate in every specialty (or sub specialty) during Y3/Y4? Another related question is that do certain programs/schools have niche specialty areas that tend to influence rotation choices etc? For example, the time spent on a...

Hi, I'm an IMG and I'm now applying for electives for 2017. I only have limited time in the States to do my electives, and since I got into other places, I now have one month left to spare. I'm deciding between Mayo Clinic and Memorial Sloan to apply for. I aim to get into Internal Medicine...

So I know this may sound weird, but I'm choosing between two schools right now and Penn is one of them. I was wondering what the clinical rotations look like (i.e. what are the 6 required, how do externships work at Penn, etc.) I want to do poultry med which basically means I'll need an MAM...

Hi everyone! I am trying to decide between a couple of schools and was curious how people go about evaluating clinical rotation sites at individual schools. Naturally, each school's brochure talks up their sites and their rotations, but I am assuming that there are some better than others, of...
