I'm (almost) a 4th yr DO student. I'm hoping to get into an osteopathic EM residency program. I set up 1 audition rotation in Sept. I'm trying to figure out if I should do an audition rotation in Oct. I was told that Nov is a prime interview season (at least for DO programs) so it's not a good idea to schedule audition rotations past Oct.
My stats aren't exactly stellar so I'd like to maximize my chances of getting an interview (and ultimately being offered a position) by getting my face shown at as many places as possible. I was contemplating among these possibilities for Oct:
1) a 4 week EM audition rotation
2) two 2 week EM audition rotations at 2 different hospitals (this is what I am thinking of doing)
3) a 4 week long non-EM rotation at a hospital that has an EM residency that I am interested & visit the ER on weekends/after hours
4) two 2 week long non-EM rotations at 2 different hospitals that have EM residency programs that I am interested & visit the ER on weekends/after hours
5) none of the above
Which would be the best option?
