Too bad I'm posting way too late to help the original poster, but I'll revive
this thread momentarily anyway.
I did not do a rotation at NYU as a med student, but from what I've seen,
the rotation is pretty open-ended and you can shape it to what you want.
Basically you'll spend an entire month on inpatient at Rusk if you don't
speak up. You can follow the stroke team, the musculoskeletal team, or
the medically complex team. Usually a mixture of two or three of them
over the course of a month. Rusk is where the program director Dr. Moroz
is located, and he's great to work with and be around. Dr. Ahn is also there,
and you'll learn a lot but get pimped in the process. Dr. Deporto is the doc
I'd most like to be some day, so I'd say spend time with him if you want to
walk away with a favorable impression of NYU. Dr. Cohen runs a
muscular dystrophy clinic out of Rusk, so you can check that out too. Off
the top of my head, the only one you want to impress is Dr. Moroz. I
don't think the others will take too much notice of you, and you can't
really join yourself at the hip to any one attending because they're private
attendings and sort of come and go throughout the day.
You can also spend time in the Bellevue outpatient clinic if you ask for it.
That's a good experience for students, to get a better idea of what your
future career is probably gonna be like. You can't really "request"
attendings there, though ... they're on a rotation like us, so you never who
is gonna be there from month to month.
