Hey every one,
so my question is basically,
A. Would you pick a relatively relaxed rotation site with a limited # of procedures that you feel like you aren't doing enough and wasting time but have decent amount of hours for yourself and etc
or
B. a long hour working rotation site where you can do high #/variety of procedures (like central line and thoracentesis) but feel a bit overwhelmed with # of hours worked and lack of time for yourself?
Both have residency team (A is slowly adding to it. It already had some residents but not enough, hence adding more. Also starting a new residency team with IM starting summer for the first time. B is more established as far as residency team goes.)
I can see pros and cons of both but it's hard to choose at this point.
Do resident directors even care if you have done certain procedures or the number of procedures you have done in your rotations? Are you going to learn what is necessary for your field through the residency anyways?
But then again, wouldn't you want your future resident to have previous experiences, whether it is related to the field or not?
Thanks in advance!
