How many of your 3rd year rotations are inpatient versus outpatient?

Just curious if there is much of a different at various schools.

Thanks.

I had 4 weeks of outpatient on medicine and 2 weeks on pediatrics. The rest just had random days in clinic scattered in (usually once a week).

Vast majority inpatient. We had 2 weeks of outpatient peds and 2 weeks of outpatient medicine. Other than that it was all inpatient, with random clinics here or there (1/2 day per week on most of the inpatient services).
