Hi, I'm a third year med student. My school is known for it's neurology departemt, but strangely enough we don't have a core rotation in neuro, though we do have 2 weeks working on consult service in second year.
My problem is that I am interested in neuro, and would like to do my july elective in it, but my school is saying that july is not so great because there will likely be multiple attendings due to it being a vacation month, which may make it hard to get an LOR.
I could do it away, but then most schools probably expect the neuro core, and even if they don't I don't want to look like a ******.
Any advice? Should I look for a school that also does not have a neuro requirement and do it away? Or just do it at my school and hope for the best? Or push it off to August (cutting it close)?
