Sub-I options

Starting a sub-I next week, and I'm very excited. I was planning on just doing general floor medicine, but the program emailed today and gave a list of possible services to be on. I'm interested in nephrology and CCM and could be an AI on those services instead of general med. However, I am doing a CCM month in Nov & a nephro month in April.

I'm very interested in this program and would like a stellar letter. I guess my question is would it be more beneficial to do my sub-I in general medicine or one of the subspecialties I'm interested in. Thanks in advance!

P.S. Any new scutwork reviews would be greatly appreciated by all of this year's applicants.

Assuming the amount of work is the same for all three options, I'd say pick the one you're best at (probably gen med since it looks like you haven't rotated through the others yet). That way it will be easier to impress and get a great letter.

do well and work hard in the rotation you're interested in. There is no extra value to doing well in a sub-I. what ultimately matters is the overall impression you make and the type of letter you get, which should not differ based on the rotation you choose if you put in the same amount of effort.
