[QUOTE="r90t, post: 1313067, member: 38708"] "audition rotations" aren't always necessary, however, don't forget board scores. Those wanting to specialize will be screened by those initially, then possibly offered an interview. Step 1 is basic sciences. We all agree that AZCOM does a good job here. Look at our board pass rate. Step 2 is clinically based. Again, our board pass rate is excellent. It is based on primary care medicine. No radiation oncology (they should!), anesthesia, neurosurgery or other specialty medicine were on it. There were overlapping questions, such as a PTA which would be identified by a PC physician and referred to an ENT. These two tests will get you foot into the door. Then it is up to you to do well on your interview. When I interviewed for Radiation Oncology, I had done no previous rotations at the programs I interviewed at. They also asked no questions about radiation oncology. They don't expect you to be a specialist already. Most if it was, do you have any questions for us. If they interview you, they want to see if your personality fits in the department, and answer questions for you. On the D.O. side, from what I have heard, face time counts. There are favorites in the smaller osteopathic community, however, if you want a specialty, the allopathic community has better choices by the numbers of programs offered. Don't sweat it. Work hard, finish high on boards/class rank and you will get what you want. Also, take USMLE if apply allo. Rob [/QUOTE]
