Hi All
Unfortunately I got one of the lowest lottery numbers and ended up with less than ideal situation for order of 3rd year rotations. I have peds - ob gyn - fmed - psych - 2.5month elective/break including christmas break - surgery - medicine.
It is unfortunate that my schedule is "back heavy" with medicine and surgery last. And Ive been getting back feedback about doing medicine clerkship last, especially before surgery.
I am interested and surgery, and it seems like people are saying that medicine should always go before surgery since the surgery boards are a large part medicine content
Since I have a long break before surgery/medicine clerkship I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what elective I can take in order to help me prepare for surgery, in lieu of the fact that I am not taking medicine last.
Please let me know!
thanks!!!
