Hey! This is my first time posting, I am a P3 student at UIC College of Pharmacy on the Rockford campus (about 75 miles away from Chicago). We recently learned about a longitudinal APPE where you would do your 4x core rotations at one the UChicago hospital. It sounds like a great opportunity that allows for research opportunities and first pick at rotation sites.
However, it would be an almost 2 hour commute from where I live now and I would only be able to move to a suburb and cut the commute down to 1-1.5 hours (depending on traffic). I am also going to look into public transportation (buses/CTA).
I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else has commuted this far daily for a rotation and what your experience was. Do you feel that it hindered you due to the time commitment driving?
Any feedback would be great! Thanks.
