Hi all,

I am a 3rd year Medical Student applying for away rotations for the upcoming year. I am interested in General Surgery for my residency match. I am currently designing my 4th year schedule to help me be the most prepared for intern year by transferring through different subspecialties and gaining experience in a wide range of different surgeries. I am also hoping that my AI will help me match at the hospital I'm doing the elective at. To that end, will accepting a Vascular Surgery AI at an institution that has an integrated vascular residency help me match at that hospital for General Surgery? Will transferring through Vascular Surgery help prepare me for PGY-1? Should I instead go for an AI at a different institution for a more core General Surgery subspecialty such as Transplant, Trauma, or Minimally Invasive instead?

Thanks for all your guys help!
