When do you (generally) get to know your rotations for intern year? I submitted my preferences after the match...but was just wondering whether programs let the interns know before orientation, or its just at that time.

(Yes, I was bored, hence, the title )

Making a schedule is a nightmare, so, you'll probably know at orientation

Already got my schedule.

We got ours somewhere in May.

gosh. I don't even know when the heck I'm starting still.

Our scheduling requests/preferences were just due on Monday, so it's probably going to be a few weeks before a schedule is finished. I'm just hoping to know by June.

It depends on the program. I am still waiting for my PGY-2 schedule for next year. And I didn't get my intern schedule until orientation and it was changed about 6 times before the first month was finished, lol!

Is it really a nightmare? I'm serious, I don't actually know. It doesn't seem too challenging to me as long as you are really methodical about it. Lots of paper (or an endlessly gigantic whiteboard), input the vacation requests first, accommodate at least 1 preference from everyone, then keep going from there. Seems like something to knock out in an afternoon.

Depends on the size of the program and deciding how to resolve the inevitable conflicts.
