How many away rotations?
I'm in the top 10% of my class. I got above the 90th % on Boards (COMLEX). I want to do an EM Allopathic residency. At this point I'm looking at programs based on location (Southeast) and whether they are DO friendly. A am really interested in U. of Maryland and Duke. I will be completing my core EM month at my school in a DO EM program in May. I have already set up an elective at Maryland early enough to get letters. Should I go to Duke also? I'm hesitant for several reasons. I am married with an infant so its obviously hard to pick up and go for a month and also it is expensive to go to Duke. There are so many fees which add up to about $500 before room and board. Are the two rotations I am already scheduled for enough, or should I consider paying the money and rotating at Duke or do a third at another program?
