I am applying for IM internships starting June/July 2016. However, my last clinical rotation was in the Fall of 2014 (I took a research year afterwards) and I do not have any more required clinical rotations (as long as I do a certain number of research months, which I want to do anyway).
This means it could theoretically be about 1.5 years between my last IM rotation and the start of internship....which is scary to say the least given that I have forgotten almost everything from 3rd/4th year. If anyone has had a similar experience, how many months of inpatient medicine MS4 rotations should I think about doing in the Spring after residency interviews are done to get back into the swing of things before starting internship this summer? 1 general medicine-type rotation? 1 ICU rotation? 1 of each? I want to maximize vacation/relaxation and research time while also making sure I am ready for internship.
Thanks in advance!
