Arranging 4 year elective

From what I have read on this forum, I have learned AUC arranges your Core Clinical Rotations and the student has to arrange their own Elective Rotations.

My question is how would a student go about arranging their Elective Rotations? Do we just call any hospital we would be interested in rotating through to see if they have any spots available for AUC students? Or are we required to do our Elective Rotations at sites AUC is contracted with?

Thanks!

easy

they give you a book with all the contact info from all the istes where auc students have done more than 10 weeks of elkectives at and follow their procedures or you can do them at any auc core site. the other option is to go on your own and look programs up, if you8 want a cometitive site do it in your third year....there was a rumor that a student put in for a 4th year elective at harvard in tird year and got an answer with a schedule date the first year of residency...how true that is who knows but its funny....

MEAS usually holds informational meetings regarding clinicals when the clinical staff visits St. Maarten. I think it's great that they are now giving more information to students earlier on. They used to wait until 4th or 5th semester, but now they're giving at least the basic information early on. Someone who's still at AUC can maybe ellaborate on the current system for you.

Seriously! That was such a random post I didn't know how to respond to it. Are they going to charge you to use this service? Sounds fishy to me for sure since you can arrange all of your electives on your own.
