anyone have any suggestions on which surgery electives to take, whether it be at wyckoff or any other hospital in NY, doesn't really matter. I'm not interested in surgery at all and have been holding this elective off for some time now... any suggestions on any "Light" surgery electives would be appreciated. thanks

If you want to experience a good/strong/solid medicine rotation, I wouldn't do it here. I don't like to bash wyckoff, because as silly as it sounds, I like it here.. the nurses are *****, but for the most part, I found the attending and residents to be pretty nice and laid back but that's the only problem with this rotation, it's too laid back... not much teaching, over crowded by too many students and really no guidance... if you do it here, you're going to have to do alot of self teaching and pleading to be taught.. but again, the attendings and residents are nice.. most of them don't like to be bothered though.. good luck!

sai2007, if you search some of the earlier posts, you'll find all your answers
 ...IM isn't the best of rotations at Wyckoff but it's doable...like adipose said you have to really bug ure intern/resident to do some teaching...noon conference is more for the residents but students have to go...surgery -- it's not great but i learned more in surgery than i did in IM...just don't annoy the residents and they are ok...a couple are really good... by the way, the FP rotation leaves ALOT to be desired... and has anyone done in Emerg Med at wyckoff? care to comment?
