Away rotation from Oct-Nov question

I have a neurology away rotation scheduled from Oct-Nov, and I was wondering how the interview is usually done, as well as signaling. Do they usually interview during the away, even if it is this late in the cycle? Also, do I have to use a signal on them with it being a relatively late away? Thanks 🙂

Your other threads here are all over the place. Originally interested in Neuro / Neuro IR. Then EM. Then IM. Now you're asking about neuro again.

You're a USMD with a 277 S2 score. You're going to be fine.

To answer your questions:
1. Yes you should signal them if you're interested. Even students with a home program are being encouraged to signal if interested.
2. Oct-Nov is early for interviews. Interviews will go into January at many places, Some programs may not start until November.

I went back and forth a lot between specialties, I came into medical school wanting to do neurology. Then I loved my IM rotation and I was strongly considering IM and EM over neurology because I wanted to see everything, but I am finishing my EM block right now and realized I was much more fascinated by the stroke patients over everything else, and so I am going back to neurology for good lol.

Thank you for the reassurance, I think I am going to stop posting on SDN. I will take your advice and signal the program and hopefully I can schedule the majority of my interviews for after this away, I just need to make sure I don't blow this audition by doing a bunch of interviews during it as it is a bit of a reach school for me and I am banking on them loving me. Have a great day and thank you again 🙂

Sounds good. You haven't mentioned your 3rd year performance, but if you have done well you will be very competitive in Neuro
