I don't know. However, why not be safe and do your rotations in green book hospitals. You never know what the future brings...

Even if I have to move around, I'm going to make sure my rotations are greenbook.

Good Luck!

One question....some people may have done their rotations OUTSIDE of the US.....and I guess whose wouldn't be Green Book right?

Most likely the policy only applies to rotations in the US.

yep, it is only for US hospitals. the wording i have read about international clinicals is something to the effect that the clinicals must be completed at a hospital that has an affiliation with the med school, or something like that.

I would go a bit further, and recommend that if you do them abroad, you insure yourself by doing them at 'official' teaching hospitals.

This is what I don't get....as a IMG, there are so many regulations on where you can do your rotations...etc...

But for FP residency programs, the main hospital is a teaching facility, HOWEVER, some electives (derm, ent, ortho, opthal) are done in private clinics...and the FP board is ok with it......

How could this be? A resident can "learn" in private clinics and yet students can't???

I think Texas requires all clinicals to be greenbook..........even electives. Georgia requires all clinicals and Florida requires 4 cores.

If yoy want to do internal medicine,they must have residency in internal medicine,never take any short cuts because you will regret it later.Some states like Illinois wants to look at actual affiliation contract between the school and the hospital,others wants to see evidence that you are eligibile to practice in the country of graduation,most require interview,things getting more complicated.
