Hi,

I want to go into Peds, and my school only gives us one 4 week outpatient pediatric rotation during third year. What is required in the third year to get into a pediatric residency?
Also, any thoughts on where to do an inpatient peds rotation that accepts 3rd years? I keep only finding them for fourth years.

Thanks!

There aren't any specific requirements, other than you graduating from medical school, passing your boards, etc. Do a subI in inpatient peds at the beginning of 4th year if you want some inpatient experience.

Who cares? Your IM and FM rotations will suffice. Kids are just little adults anyway
