Is the list of Affiliated Hospitals on AUCs website complete

I was just curious as to whether the hospitals listed on the website was a complete list. I noticed in a previous thread, someone posted about additional sites in NY, but I still only see one listed. If there are additional sites that are not on the website, id love to know. I was hoping if there were, some one could post them.

Also, is there a location that you can do all of your rotations, or at least an area where you could commute to different hospitals without physically changing where you live.?

no it is not a complete list

providence in MI is a complete site

Kern in Cali

there are 5 new sites in NY...and i belive 3 are complete

I am not sure about this but I think you can manage doing all or most of your cores in Balt by going to a few hospitals.

If you fail at AUC, SGU, or Ross why not transfer to SMU, if you fail at SMU, why not try another SMU.

re

how about the elective rotations? Do most people move around a lot for these, or try to find a hospital at which they can complete all of them? For those hospitals that you said were complete, does that include elective, or is it core only?

Could you please post the name of the new ones in NY and if you know of their reputation.

Thanks

i dont know the names of the places....you call MEAS and ask them to give you a complete list

you can do electives where ever you want....

i believe some of the core places of electives too.....

but it is probably a good idea to go to a couple of the hospitals you want to get residency at and kiss some rear end or something.....

Actually its already been posted... just do a search for NY sites on the AUC forum and you can get all the sites and what they have.

Good luck,

i have the electives list and its pretty long. all the aquc core sites have multiple elective rotations there. the ones in baltomore and new york even have ortho, derm, and plastics but you can do them anywhere that has a acgme residency. given that we are in big cities with multiple hospitals for rotations i don't think you'l have to move if you don't want to/

I thought the same thing until I actually started looking into electives. A TON of hospitals/schools will not allow AUC students to do visiting student electives because we are not an LCME school (U.S. and Canadian).

I'd check into the specific places you want to go.

True, but not all States are represented and several States only have one hospital listed. This can be difficult if you hope to do electives in one of these underrepresented States since most sites will only allow visiting students to do 4-8 weeks of electives. Granted, this list is not comprehensive, only a listing of places previous AUC students have rotated.

However, I have already found one hospital on the list that no longer takes foreign students.
