New Sub-Forum

To kind of answer my own question...I went to the hospital's website and they only have FP residency. So I assume you could only do FP rotation there. Their current residents include a lot of FMG's including a Ross, Saba, and St. Matt's.

couldn't start a new thread so here it is:

Hey guys,

I have a question regarding the electives. I know we have to do Green Book core rotations to be licensed in most states. Is it the same case with electives or the electives don’t matter whether they are green book or not? I am planning on going into IM right now and the hospital I am doing my IM right now they offer Green Book IM core rotation but their Sub-I electives like Cardiology, GI, Nephrology etc. are not green book….so if I do my electives there…is it going to be okay?? I plan on practicing in NY/NJ area and I checked the medical board websites….but didn’t find anything regarding the electives being green book or not to be licensed in NY/NJ area. If anyone can answer this question or direct me to the specific website would be a great help. Thank you.

which school are you at since you have managed to post this exact same thread on the sgu, ross, and auc clinical fora?

there are many threads on this topic--do a search.

[pinksophistication]

i actually have the same question so if anyone has constructive answer please reply! asking the same question on different threads is not a big deal, nor is it a big deal which school the poster is at; at the end of the day we are all carib med schools and are in similar situations.

thanks!

actually it is, its against TOS

nor is it a big deal which school the poster is at;

it can make a difference, while yes, we will all be caribbean grads, the places we do our clinical clerkships are not the same (there is some overlap) and giving information about a hospital where sgu students rotate is not at all helpful to a saba student (and vice versa)

at the end of the day we are all carib med schools and are in similar situations.

thanks!

and again this is not a new topic- there are many threads on this topic, many actually active at this moment. For a general question like this you should do a search to see if you can get an answer, then when you have more specific question, then post a question- you will get a better response (note no one else has responsed to this,and his other numerous posts, -there is a reason why).

Yes, that is true but Rokshana, I didn't ask about information on a particular hospital sgu/saba students rotate at. I asked a question that applies to all the caribbean grads regardless of if the student is going to either sgu/ross/saba/auc/smu etc.

"and again this is not a new topic- there are many threads on this topic, many actually active at this moment.

Sorry, I didn't know we were not permitted to post multiple "same post" on different school forums. I thought I would get an answer from whoever saw it first in whichever forum they visit the most whether it be sgu/auc/saba/ross/smu forum since not everyone goes thru every single school forum. Stephew took out the other posts and left this and let me know about the policy. So rokshana, if she took out the other posts then how would I get a reply from anyone from those posts-This is in reply to your last sentence above.

Rokshana, instead of wasting your time writing all that you could've just answered my question or didn't have to say anything. If you don't want to reply then don't reply let others do it. And yes, for your info Juni has answered my question with one line. He didn't make a big deal about this.

Anyway, thanks pinksophistication for the support. And this is what I got from Juni

your a newbie- which is why i didn't make a big point about TOS- figured you would get a pm from one of the mods about it- i only pointed it out when another new person thought it wasn't a big deal.

again, since you are new i didn't make a big note to you about asking general questions about topics that have been (or currently are) being discussed on vmd. Before you start berating people about not being nice- you need to learn something about the culture here on vmd. Many of us here are happy to help, but get a bit tired of people who don't want to do even a little bit of work to get the answer to their question. If you had just done a search for green book you would have found

and this was on the 1st page alone. I'm sure one of these has the answer to your question.

[Amyloidosis]

Thanks for the links. I'll be sure to look up stuff from now on before I post. Happy now?

At the end of the day no answer to a question we all want to know about. what a waste of space.

Just thought I'd share something I found out recently...mainly as a good example of how important it is to check state requirements EARLY on in this whole process. For anyone contemplating practicing in Virginia, please note that ALL clinical rotations, both core and elective, must be done in hospitals that have ACGME residencies in that particular specialty. For example, if you do a rads elective, it better be at a hospital with a rads residency program. Ditto with the other specialty areas. Just an example and an FYI.
