MS3 applying FM planning 4th year schedule, elective advice?

[wavecrasher111]

Trying to sort through an immense array of electives to best prepare me for residency/career. I know this has been asked before but wanted some input that is more current if anyone has opinions! I'm thinking definitely ortho, EM, peds EM (lost peds rotation from corona), radiology. Any others that people would recommend? Thank you!

Family medicine sub-internship. Also some sort of ICU rotation, EM, ortho.

Would you say its important to do the Sub-I prior to when applications go out? I'm a pretty competitive applicant scores-wise

Definitely do a peds rotation.
i did random electives. I did GI, rads, two peds sub-i’s (i thought i wanted peds lol). I also did a medicine sub-i as my school requires it. I “did” an EM sub-i online.

You really can’t go wrong with your schedule. Any FM curriculum basically includes every specialty under the sun.

You’re gonna be fine no matter how the chips fall. Consider a pediatrics elective. Can’t go wrong with ICU.
