hi,
i just finished my step 1 on Monday and although i'm scared that i might have failed it, i'm moving on to start a special rotation in NY. i called up my clinical adviser and he's given me the two options I've posted above: Mt. Vernon or Peninsula. He tells me that Peninsula is a DO hospital. So I'm leaning toward Mt. Vernon. But the rotations are different. Mt. Vernon is Int. med for 3 mos, while Peninsula is family for 6 weeks. Although I would be excited to start Mt. Vernon, I'm just hesitant to jump into it because it's so long. I mean, I will obviously get my step 1 score back in about 6 weeks, but if I failed it, that means I would have to start studying right away to take it again. But if i'm stuck with the 3 mos rotation, then I'm assuming I have to finish the rotation before I can get out of it. Any advice?
