What is the NY rule?

[LqdPls]

Our members don't see this ad.

I think the rule is referring to those cores and/or electives that were done in the state of NY.

basically if you are from a non approved school, if you want to be eligible for residency in NYS, then you cannot have done more than 12 weeks of rotations at non affliated hospitals WITH IN the state of NY...they don't care if you do them elsewhere.

if you are from an approved school, then you can do more than 12 weeks in NYC (unless you applied for a temp application with NYS for rotations, then you basically forfeit the right to do more than 12 weeks).

clearer?

So if someone is a graduated IMG and has done more than 12 weeks observer ship in another state, will that count as bad and cant do residency in the state?

observerships are not the same thing as med school rotations......they're talking about actual third and fourth year clinical rotations. Post grad observerships doesn't mean anything for NY state
