Hi, I'm a MSIII looking for rotations for next fall / winter. Specifically, I want to find a four week program to prime my intubation skills before I start EM residency. Anyone know of an anesthesiology program with a lot of hands on experience? Prefer in the Chicago area...

Too bad you prefer the Chicago area. Jersey City offers a pretty good four-week anesthesiology rotation. The attendings and CRNA's really encourage you to get some practice intubating, along with other procedures. And you're the only med student there, so you don't have to compete with other med students for procedures. There's no residents to take intubations and other procedures either. The CRNA's have been doing them for years, so they're happy to give you a chance to practice your skills.
