Questions about clinical site options

[thedirtychemist]

Although the chances are not great, is it possible to do all your clerkships in one medical center?
How often do students move during their clinical years, on avg?
I'm just curious. hehe actually, my fiance is more curious than I am. She will be joining me in SABA on Sept.

I was told by a 5th semester that Sandy revealed a few locations in which one can do all rotations:
- NY
- MD
- Chicago
- LA
and all but one (peds?) in Kansas City

Can anyone verify this? My bride and I are interested in the same issue.

Thanks!

oh yeah.... LA.


so anyone know the word on california clinical sites? how does saba go about establishing relationships with hospitals? i hope they don't wait for us to get new sites on our own.

According to Dr. ********* (sp?) (founder of SUSOM), they are working on getting CA rotations now...just trying to find someone they can hire to do it.

If you know of anyone, forward the resume and get the ball rolling for him.
