IM: Harbor, Baltimore, MD: Excellent wrt teaching. The PD involves the students and encourages student participation. Many top-scoring FMGs make this rotation great for learning medicine. Not much hands on (i.e. blood draws, IV lines) but you do get to learn clinical medicine. One of the best IM clinical sites that Ross has. Call Q4. Many lunchtime drug-rep lunches.

Any one rotated their recently?
Any experience?

Keep in mind that there are only 2-3 Ross students that rotate for the IM core rotation every 12 weeks. There are alsol other students from St. Chris, SABA, and Spartan.

Good luck,

Please suggest good housing near the hospital.

I have done IM and cardiology at harbor. It was a good rotation with lot of learning. Call was Q4 for us as well. Most of the students lived near the john hopkins area. A few got apartments in glenn burnie and catonsville.

has anyone done any elective here?

Anyone with recent experience here? I'll be starting IM here shortly, so I was just curious about how things are now.
What are the hours like? Typical day? Weekends?

http://www.valuemd.com/images/icons/icon1.gif Fully furnished Room in Townhouse in Maryland, a deal you can't pass up!
My brother is a Ross University medical student, and I know how hard it is traveling to different parts of the country to complete your rotations. I am located in North Beach Maryland (Calvert County), a 45 min drive to Baltimore or DC and only minutes away from Prince George Hospital and Annapolis. My brother lived with me for 6 weeks when he rotated at St. Elizabeth's in DC.

I have a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhouse that is located a half mile from the beach. I am extremely flexible regarding short term renting and will pro-rate your stay if needed. I will require a security deposit that you will get back. You will have access to the entire house except my room in the basement.

Rent is $600 and includes everything. There are two bedrooms located on the second floor. You will have the larger bedroom that has a private bathroom, the other bedroom is a spare bedroom that I will NOT be renting out. Your room has a full size bed, desk with chair, dresser, and a 32 inch television. What your rent includes:

All Utilities (yes, everything, AC included as well b/c it's central air)
Wireless Internet
Cable TV (with HBO and Showtime)
Washer and Dryer
Townhouse has Dishwasher, Microwave, Electric Grill on back patio
Phone with Unlimited Long Distance anywhere in the United States
And a parking space
Living room has a 42inch plasma tv with a leather couch that has two recliners in it.

As for me, I am a State Trooper and work on a rotating schedule so I am always working. As for you, you MUST BE CLEAN, Trustworthy, and pick up after yourself, i.e. don't leave dishes in the sink or pots on the stove with food in it, and when you move out leave a clean bathroom). The community I live in is quiet and the place is perfect for studying. If your interested please email me at jac51pc@comcast.net , also I can email you pictures if you'd like to see the place.

has anyone recently had a rotation here? if so how is it and what rotation did you have? I'm scheduled to do IM at harbor

[esuwan21]

I have a question for you and everyone else that's now into or beyond their 3rd year. Is it really possible to get all green rotations back to back if you are willing to jump around the country? I'm married and would prefer to do all green rotations in one area, or between 2 areas, but that does not seem possible if I want to end on time and make the match.

So I've been told if I want to get all green and finish on time I'll need to move around alot. But I've heard rumors that even if you are willing to move for all greens, you may still have up to a month in between certain rotations.

What's the truth?

[akabeeks]

Can I transfer to Ross University after my STEP1. When should I apply? I am planning to give my around step 1 october 2008 or so.

To anyone who has done this rotation recently... What is the call schedule like for this rotation? And are they all long call (overnight) or are some short call (until 8pm, midnight or whatever). thanks!

call schedule depends on the intern you're assigned to, you get a new intern every 10 days. long call is usually till about 9 or 10 pm. short call means you have to be there at 7 am. you will get scheduled for a 10 day block of night float while you are there. As far as weekends go if your intern is scheduled for the weekend, its up to them to decide if you have to come in or not.
