Finishing next week. Had a great time. Learned a lot. One exam at the end, easy. hours are good morning report at 8am or 9 am depending on the day (7:30 on monday). Day ends at about 5. Call is q3 or q4 days. Starts at 4-5pm and ends around 9pm. No weekends. Grading is done by Dr. Y...amazing person and physician. There are about 4-6 ross students and 2 pa students from umdnj. You will follow a PGY1 and stick to his or her call schedule (mentioned above). These PGY1's are brand spanking new!!! They will be paranoid and confused, so give them a break. I got lucky I came in at the end of the PGY1's year so they are ready to move on, they were cool. If you want specifics on who to stay away from and the different personalities PM me...anyway you will have a great time, I did.

Avoid a certain resident with blond hair - I think he should be a PGY3 now, not sure b/c he was left back and even demoted a couple of times before. Anyways, he probably would be the only one there with blond hair and Caucasian. He's a real douche and will try to screw you over. Don't get fooled into thinking he knows his stuff or that he is a friend. None of the other residents like him b/c he's incompetent, lazy, and a prick.

100% correct. By the way he should be a PGY9 by this time.

My son did IM rotation at Raritan Bay and he said it was a good rotation. I venture to say there was no cut-off as far as the USMLE Steo 1 score to do the IM rotation. At the time each rotation only had two or three students.

Hope that helps

Not sure about how much you want to pay but my son stayed in an extended stay motel at less then $1800 a month. It wa in Woodbridge an d a ten minute drive to the hospital.

[medicinssansfrontieres]

anybody with recent experiences?

[sonyvaio]

EDIT: Do not stay at this place on Ogden Place (400s, not going to say which housing number) that takes medical students. i lived here and it sucks big time. it's ghetto. gun shots, crappy living area. not worth it.
