Hey guys, I'm an M3 (cant figure out how to update my profile)
I've heard that if I want to match into a residency for a specific specialty, the hospital I rotate through should offer a residency program in that specialty so I can get an LOR from the program director to look good during interviews.
If the hospital I rotate through doesnt have a residency program for my desired specialty, are there other ways to go about still matching into my desired specialty (Pediatrics)? Such as sub-internships or elective rotations?
Also, Im from Texas, so I know it can get pretty competitive there (is this true for Peds though?).
Still waiting on Step scores, but dont want to rotate at a hospital where matching into my dream career isnt even possible
