Electives in NY state and Wyckoff

The main thing to keep in mind is that since Wyckoff is MUA's only real affiliate in NY, you're really limited in doing electives at proper teaching institutions if you want to do all your clinicals in NY. This goes back to the issue of what is and what isn't "greenbook". Yes you can do all your electives at Wyckoff, but this may come back to bite you. My suggestion is to do whatever electives in Wyckoff have actual fellows rotating in the particular department, and then use your "12 weeks" to do electives in other hospitals in NY (and even these won't necessarily have proper teaching going on but at least there is something on paper). Then you'll have to do some electives outside of NY. Remember, when you do rotations at proper teaching institutions, not only will they be more legitimate when it comes down to licensing later on, but you'll really enjoy the teaching experience and you'll get more out of it.
