July, August, September, October in the year that you are applying. PDs/Chairs will remember you in time for interview screens (for better or worse). Unfortunately, these times are also the most difficult to schedule rotations due to demand.

Make sure when you are applying to find out when ASTRO is occurring. Its not such a great time to do a rotation at another institution. At most major places people will be busy preparing talks and travel the week before and gone for another week. This doesn't leave time to really pay attention to a medical student.

Thanks for the tip...do you know when ASTRO is this year?

a good idea may be to take vacation during astro and attend the meeting.
