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!
Finally, it seems ross is adding a new pediatrics site.Does anyone know how many students they will take on? And what is the call schedule like and what are the hours like? If I can get this rotation in short notice, I'll do it so I can avoid going back to the island.
