I have a question and wanted to get people's opinion - if I complete an elective (not-official VSLO, no official agreement with my school, set up by my PD, just rotated at another program for a month [they typically do not offer aways for medical students]), and another "off the transcript" at a private practice functioning as a medical student and working up and presenting patients, can I put that on the specialty electives and related activities section? What about leading an interest group?

Also - do we need to provide a description or would rotation names and dates be sufficient?

Thank you for your insight 🙂
