PCOM rotation sites

[DrKuroneko]

Was hoping to get a few ideas on what were some good sites to rotate at, especially from more current PCOM'ers. I'm personally looking at great Omm/selective physician, cardio IM selectives and MICU sites. Feel free to share the knowledge about other great rotations though! I'm sure other current 2nd years are curious too

do not do pediatrics at city line peds.

otherwise...make sure you get a couple rotations up in the lehigh valley. people are always surprised by how huge lehigh valley hospital is. it's a big city hospital in a smaller area so the atmosphere is a lot friendlier. i did neuro. there as an im selective and it was a great time.

i actually liked my peds rotation at city line peds.

LVH&HN is a great place to rotate through. The hospital, especially, is held in high regards in the area. Solid network.

the old evaluations of city line (that hospitals2006 file on the sga group site) were more in line with what i experienced. little if any teaching and i felt like i was in their way all month. i've never had anything like that and i'm almost through third year.

i told dr. dominy and she said you either love it there or hate it...and it depends on your relationship with the preceptors. i got along with dr. brodzik...but the other two didn't want to have anything to do with me. i didn't do anything tragic or especially stupid so maybe they didn't like my hair (simple, short military cut).

Did you end up rotating at Geisinger, too?
A good friend of mine at PCOM just matched IM at Lehigh, and she's super excited; it was her #1 choice.

funny. thats where i was looking to go (granted i have time). I'm curious why she didnt do acgme for that though as the ogme shafts you into 4yr IM at lehigh whereas acgme is 3 (as far as I know)
