Thank you so much for the info @MCAThiccy!We rotate at Scott & White Memorial Hospital (the main teaching hospital), Mclane's children hospital for pediatrics, and the Olin E. Teague Veterans' Medical Center (the VA). We begin our rotations this October. As such, I do not have much information regarding rotations (just know the locations).
Here's a link to the VA: VA - Olin E. Teague Veterans' Medical Center - Temple VA | TexVet
As for experiences: Scott & White memorial covers 200 square miles, has over 14,000 employes across multiple clinics and the hospital, and sees about 90,000 pathology specimens a year. The community covers multiple patient ages, nationalities, and health conditions.
As for research, we have multiple physicians who are working with us to do research, such as neurosurgery, anesthesiology, pathology, and other specialties.

As such, research oppurtunities are plentiful here, as well as seeing pathology in patients.
Hope this helps @doobydodoc
In terms of research, would you say it's mainly clinical? I've been involved in translational research. I have experience handling datasets using R and Python, as well as a bit of chart review to pull out treatment info but none of my projects so far have been clinical.
