I have not done any electives at Caritas, but I am rotating at Caritas right now. In my opinion, I believe that Pulmonary is a very good elective at Caritas, as I think you will learn. Cardiology is another good elective (at least this is what I have heard). I am not sure about the others, but I hope this helps.

Any feedback on ER @ Caritas?? thanks!

can someone please tell me which FP is better wykoff or MIH. How is 6 weeks broken down in MIH FP and which attending is easier to work with in outpatient clininc. Any comment is appreciated.

Family Medicine Core Rotation at Caritas is as follows: 5 weeks outpatient clinic, 1 week in patient at MIH. The first day you meet with Director of FM and you decide which clinic you want to go to. The one week at MIH includes a 24hr call either Friday or Saturday of that week

ER at MIH: I do not know too much about this elective, but I do know that the hrs are very long (I think 7am-7pm). These hrs are not everyday, but instead 3-4 days of the week. You will do a lot of ABGs, blood draws and ER admissions.

Hope this helps.

Thats how every ER rotation is pretty much everywhere... 7-7...this goes for shifts after residency as well, 3X a week. Thats why ER is so lucrative to everyone... 7-7 is not even that long, we were often 5:30 to 7 daily for medicine at Kings County...

The hours for family medicine at Caritas vary depending upon which clinic you choose. I have heard that if you chose one clinic, you just have to come in for 2-3hrs a day and do paperwork. However, I also know that that there is another clinic that makes you stay very long hrs. (9AM-6 or 7PM). Yet there is another clinical site in which the doctor has two family medicine clinic practices, and you have to go to both of them.

I hope this helps!

has anyone done ob/gyn at Mary Immaculate Hospotal? what are the hours like? Did you learn lots?
