Three Questions:
1) Anyone know if a M1 can do both MSSCE and RREMS if they are at the same sponsor site? My guess is no.
2) How competitive are these two programs (20%?)? I'm at an in-state MD school if that matters.
3) If our application is accepted for RREMS, would it be awkward to turn it down for MSSCE given that we'll have worked with a sponsor to write up a 3-page proposal or will they understand? In other words, if I am lucky enough to get accepted to both, should I risk annoying a leader in our small field or risk annoying the MSSCE program coordinator?
My preference is to do a program like MSSCE or Northwestern because of the clinical exposure, but I think I also have genuine research ideas for the sponsor site I want to contact for RREMS. I am planning to apply to all three and other summer programs too (let me know if there are any PM&R specific ones I'm missing).
Overall, I just want more exposure to PM&R (have already shadowed a rehab physician at my school, joined AAPM&R, gone to the interest group meetings, etc.). Worst possible outcome is that I end up relaxing during my last real summer, haha.
Any wisdom will be appreciated, thanks!
