Hi, I'm an MSIII, just wondering about traveling rotations during residency.
Basically my question is: Is it common to require residents to rotate at an affiliated (sp) hospital so far away from your program's main location that you're required to temporarily move there? I understand it's typical to do rotations at other hospitals in the same metro area, which are still within reasonable driving distance from home. I'm curious because my medical school has a number of MSIII core clerkship sites >50 miles away from our school/primary hospital complex. Admittedly I'm kinda looking for reassurance that I won't be forced to spend weeks or months at a time away from home (and my wife, since I'll be married by then) which I and a large number of my classmates are stuck doing right now. Thanks.
