(it's the only core I have left)
Thanks guys!

The 3 weeks you do at JPH are in Neonatology. The program between Grove Pediatrics and JPH is fairly new....it only started a few months ago.
I myself have not done the rotation but from what I have heard, the 3 weeks you do in Buffalo Grove are outpatient Pedes at a private clinic...the doctor there doesn't really let you do much...it's more like you are shadowing him. He used to take students to a hospital affiliated with Northwestern but I'm not sure if he does that anymore.
The Neonatology at JPH is pretty good from what I've heard but a lot of presentations. Depending on the amount of deliveries, it is hot and cold in terms of seeing patients.
Overall, if you can get a better rotation, I think that would be better. But with the shortage of Pedes rotations, this is not a bad option if you have no other choices.
Good luck!
