Away rotation in November; hope no interviews that month!

[question]

I have an away rotation during the whole month of November during which I cannot have any absences. I'm concerned that this may cause a problem for any interviews that I could have in November. Do you guys think it will really be a problem?

Thanks in advance for replies.

November and December are the prime months for interviews and many programs offer you only a few dates. This means that you would have to squeeze everything into October and December. This is doable if you plan to apply to only a few programs. Securing a choice residency is more important than a senior elective.
