with clinicalls its all you, no help period. Its pretty much word of mouth from the upper years what to do.
Having said that.. everyone that passes step two from here that i know of got there residencies. Well making the match is up to you too... its all you here anyway by year 4 you expect nothing from the deans office. haha by year one you dont.

And yes people commonly do there 16 wks in the states, infact you have to go somewhere in year 4. well i guess you could stay too haha. god SOS those people. But its common for people to do it whenever i guess fall or winter.

hope that helps
