Residency Away Elective.

[Clive]

I'm a resident in the United States and was wondering if anyone in this forum knows much about rotations that are open in Australia, New Zealand, or any of the islands in the area that are worth checking out during a 1-month away rotation this coming January or February. Any good websites to look or advice on where to go?

Thanks.

The Aussie schools tend not to be as organized as US programs; they also take longer to get anything done. Thus you need to start now in arranging an away elective. If the thread above doesn't give you what you need, start contacting the hospitals in areas you are interested in and ask about the possibility of a rotation. Make sure you have your program provide educational goals for the rotation.
