Any plan for New York accreditation?

[oldmandoc]

Does anyone know whether Windsor has already applied or intend to apply in the near future for NY state accreditation? As you may know, such accreditation would allow Windsor students to do more than 12 weeks of clinical rotation in New York state teaching hospitals.

NY is a sensitive issue. But as a NYker, and non-Windsor syudent I really doubt the availabilityy of the rotation spots, especially the core ones. It's been a challenge for many schools on NY market for many, many years. I doubt that poor good ole Wyckoff can take anymore Carib students. With SGU snatching a better portion of HHC (City) hospitals (which are quite c'ra'p'y) if you ask me, but don't expect rotations n NY w/o a very, very substational tuition hike, even if the approval is granted. Also many places in NY are AOA and not AGGME approved, which means you could run into licensing problems outside of NY (places like Penninsula, and St. Jhon's in Queens are D.O rotations). But the approval would be nice anyway for less paper work for licensing. Though NYS is different from NYC. But I'd rather go to Chicago than some rural Upstae NY hospital in the middle of nowhere. If it's not in the City or any of the 5 boroughs....just forget it, friend, IMHO.

What billydoc says is correct. Ive heard all kinds of stories that students are BORED out of their minds with rotations in NYC with nothing to do but the wall shuffle. Id rather hook myself up with chicago or Podunk, USA to get more hands on experience.

Dont get me wrong, I dont mind a lil wall shuffle, Just all day can get old fast. And the NYC city life cannot compare to anything else

Grim-faced and forbidding,
Their faces closed tight,
An angular mass of new yorkers
Pacing in rhythm,
Race the oncoming night,
They chase through the streets of manhattan.
Headfirst humanity,
Pause at a light,
Then flow through the streets of the city.

They seem oblivious
To a soft spring rain,
Like an english rain
So light, yet endless
From a leaden sky.

The buildings are lost in the limitless rise.
My feet catch the pulse and the purposeful stride.

I feel the sense of possibilities,
I feel the wrench of hard realities.
The focus is sharp in the city.
