Audition rotations?

Hi all, having a bit of trouble here. Due to my school's scheduling, I am unable to do BOLC until next summer, which will be the year between my 3rd and 4th year. Will this still allow me to do any Army away rotations during my 4th year? I am a bit confused, since there are certain restrictions to how long an HPSP student can be on active duty in a given fiscal year.

Thanks for any help.

If possible, do Bolc later (perhaps in the Spring of MS4? Or after PGY1). You dont wanna sacrifice an audition tour, especially if you're applying for something competitive. Hell, ive even heard of people doing bolc after residency, or not at all

I was under the impression that BOLC had to be done before away rotations at Army hospitals? Am I mistaken?

Considering that I've met some 4th year residents who have yet to do BOLC, I assume it's not.

I emailed and asked and was told I have two ADTs remaining. Assuming BOLC is one of my ADTs next summer, does this mean I am only allowed to audition at one residency location during my 4th year?

It means you will only be paid active duty for one rotation with all the benefits. You can do other auditions as non-ADT status.

Ah, thank you! I was having difficulty understanding that section of the HPSP handbook. This answers my question perfectly.
