Hi folks,
As a medical student in the process of scheduling 4th year PM&R rotations with the intent of applying to some of these residencies, I was curious whether or not a PM&R research elective rotation (one month) at a program would be more beneficial (as a whole or specifically for that program) compared to doing a general PM&R rotation at a specific program. One month is obviously not much time to put together a project and exposure to some of the PM&R department would be limited compared to a general rotation, but I thought it would be a good experience in terms of variety and getting my feet wet in terms of research.

Thanks for your responses!
