elective rotations: "fun" vs "practical"

I've heard that we should round out our MD education by taking varied electives and not trying to repeat our internships. So I thought good, useful rotations for someone going into primary care would be things like dermatology and radiology.

The more I think about it, the less I feel like studying radiology for 4 weeks. This course called History of Pathology and Medicine is starting to sound more interesting to me, but... how applicable is that when I'm an intern?

Any thoughts to help me decide whether I should drop the radiology rotation I signed up for and sign up for this history class? (when will i have the opportunity to take a class like history again?)

Thanks.
