Thread: clinical site reviews

info for clinicals is basically nonexistent.

would it be possible to list the sites available?

for those currently in or have completed please provide a review of sorts?

• site
• positives
• negatives
• housing advice
• any other useful info

I just started my core Internal Medicine rotation in Ohio. So far so good! The positives would be the physicians here really like to teach, so from an educational standpoint I am getting a lot out of it. The people are quite friendly, and even more the doctors are really nice and willing to go out of their way to teach. I would say my overall experience thus far is very good. The doctors are amazing and they really make sure you understand and learn everything properly.

If I had to choose a negative, it probably would be there is not much to do in this town. I mean, there are other students so we do get a chance to hang out on the weekends and watch movies etc. BUT, its not a totally bad thing since it gives me more time to study for Step 2, yayy.

Housing was easy to find online, and also the Avalon administration was able to help me out.

Overall i'm glad I chose Ohio for rotations. Avalon had options of where I could have done my rotations, but I decided to choose Ohio since its not in a big city, meaning less distractions.

Hope my post helped, and if you have any other questions you can PM me.

Tried a couple times to send you a PM but not sure if it went through. The site is lagging pretty bad for me. Hope you received it.

When did you start your IM rotation?
