Two questions on behalf of someone I know:
1) It does say that all are completed at ACGME affiliated teaching hospitals.
So does it mean that AUA states that all rotations will be greenbook rotations?
|
Nope. I'd say that at least 50% of students rotate through non-Green sites. Some do so out of convenience (shorter wait times, the ability to do everything in once place) and some do so because they don't know any better.

2) Do we have any control of the scheduling of the rotations? The same quote states they will be scheduled only by the clinical coordinators.

Yeah you can request whatever you want, but Green rotations will obviously have longer wait times. Those who requested Peds (at Wyckoff) two months ago were given a eight month wait time. As long as wait times for core rotations are under 12 months, it's not so bad.

Don't know what a Greenbook rotation is? Click here.
Preliminary list of state licensing requirements here.
If you have a question, post it at the AUA forum. I can't respond to PMs due to Step 2 coming up very soon.
