I am currently at AUC, do MUA and SABA do all of their clinicals there, or just core rotations? I'm from Louisiana as are a disproportionately large number of students from AUC and was surprised to find that there are almost no Louisiana rotations offerd.

You will get a lot of experience in OB/GYN. It is the only rotation that you will have to spend the night. We would go in at 5:00 a.m. and not get off until 1:00 pm the next day. You will do this every 5 days or so - depending on how many medical students on the rotation. I learned a lot - many people don't like the OB/GYN rotation because it is taxing and can be stressful. I actually did a Sub-I and did an extra 6 weeks myself. Actually Dr. H the chief of OB/GYN is listed as part of the clinical staff at MUA. Check out the website.

thanks nevisbutterfly,
it's good to hear both are good b/c i heard some pretty bad things about peds in chicago and obgyn at other palces.
