Indian Health Service Rotation

[PharmDstudent23]

Hello,

I am a 3rd year student at Universit of Florida. Its time for us to pick rotations. Does anyone have any experience in the Indian Health Service Rotation in North Carolina? I would appreciate any feedback.

I completed an IHS rotation ('07) in New Mexico and really enjoyed it, nice mix of anticoagulation, diabetes, HTN, renal, mainly ambulatory care; my roomie was from UF. Another classmate did the IHS rotation in Cherokee, she liked it. She told me it was pretty remote and she had a ton of cell trouble, but liked the hospital. I know she did a combo of inpatient and ambulatory care. Asheville is fun town with lots of outdoor activities, some good bars, and a decent music scene. Hope that helps.

I did the rotation in cherokee and I thought it was awesome! Plus they give you housing while you are there. (just remember that it's government housing so its not going to be great)

I am goign to be doing one of my rotations at the Cherokee Indian Reservation, and I am wondering if anyone could tell me what housing is really going to be like?

I don't get why they call it the Indian Health Service. Isn't it supposed to be called the Native American Health Service.

If your a guy, expect to be in a 3 bedroom house with good ac/heat but no tv or internet. If your a girl, expect to be in a house with crappy heat with tv, cable and internet. It's a great rotation. Have fun!

Thank you for answering my question. I am really looking forward to this rotation, and now I am a little more at ease with the living situation.
