Why take a chance. Make sure you do it at an ACGME/greenbook program. Maybe now you don't really want to practice in a state that requires you to go that route, but what if you meet a very hot girl who wants to marry you, but really wants to live in a state that requires it. Then you are hosed. You never know what your situation will be, and the broader your options the better off you are. Also many states SAY one thing, but in reality they expect something else. There are lots of nuances in terms of licensure. One stupid thing I can think of is if you do rotations in Texas you have a hard time getting TX licensure. Isn't that dumb? I think you need to take the most compatible route, the one that will give you the least amount of potential problems in the future. Just my 2 cents. G
