Rotations question

[doc B]

Sree or Mr. Tipton,
I was wondering if it is possible to schedule most of my rotations in Chicago. My girlfriend and I live there and would like to minimize time away from each other. Can you tell me if this is possible? Can you tell me what rotations I can complete there for sure?
thanks alot

It depends on where you want to practice eventually.

If you're thinking about one of the stricter states like Michigan, Georgia, Connecticut, etc., then all you can do in Chicago is FM, IM and IM electives.

If you're thinking about a more lenient state like New York or Illinois, then you can do everything there.

Why not Neurology?

As far as I know, a Neurology elective isn't Greenbook just because it's offered by a hospital which has an ACGME-accredited IM program. There needs to be a Neurology residency or fellowship affiliated with clerkship. But it's just an elective, so only the really strict states - TX, PA, NV - care, rather than the states I listed on in my (edited) post.

That's the list that St. Matthews hands out to its fifth semester students. So, someone probably got paid to put that list together - meaning that its more likely to be accurate than the other lists floating around. I've been looking for that list just to link to it, so I'm glad you found and posted it. The only addition to that list is Michigan which requires all cores to be Green as of 6 months ago when one of my friends spoke to Michigan Medical Board.
