Thanks Juni! This is a huge help! This should be a sticky in my opinion.

I'm with Bedazzled...

Keep this post around, it's great! This should answer a ton of questions in the future. If anything changes with any one state, just update the thread! Good stuff!

Green rotations are rotations done at a hospital that has a residency in that rotation. I.e. Florida hospital has a residency program in Family Practice, therefor the family practice rotation is green. Green rotations can also be when a hospital has residents and an attending for that rotation at the hospital. Wyckoff Hospital does not offer a residency in Pediatrics, but does have pediatric residents & a pediatric attending at the hospital (these scenarios occur at hospitals that are affiliated with universities, like Wyckoff is affiliated with Cornell). Hope this helps.

These are the green rotations according to the list given out yesterday to the 5th semesters here in Windham. If anyone spots an error please let me know.

can a student do all his/her core rotations in NY and have them all be ACGME approved? i read the recent replies with the list of states/hospitals/core rotations avaible and NY didnt have all the core rotations listed. i am interested in practicing in NJ and according to another reply, one must do all core rotations at ACGME hospitals. i would like to do all my cores in NY. is it possible? thanx

I think you can do Ped at Sacred Heart Women’s Hospital, Pensacola. They are green book for ped. Go to www.sacred-heart.org/residencyprograms.asp you will see that they have pediatrics residency also and it is even listed in FREIDA www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/pgmrslt/1,1239,,00.html I am not sure about this but it looks pretty obvious to me that we can do both rotation Ob\Gyn and Ped in the same hospital.

What about the electives, did they say something

Just to clarify some confusion, I only listed the required core rotations for the school. Remember core rotations include the following:

Internal Medicine, 12 weeks
Surgery, 12 weeks
Pediatrics, 6 weeks
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 6 weeks
Family Practice, 4 weeks
Psychiatry, 6 weeks

I did not post any electives (ie EM or Geriatrics) because you have to set them up yourself. Some rotations listed may seem like they are not green but they are ie: Wyckoff hospital has only a FP residency, but has Cornell students who are in Residency rotating in Pediatrics (with an attending) therefore satisfying the ACGME criteria for the Ped rotation. My previous post is a list compiled from the school which stated which sites were ACGME approved ("Green"). There were quite a few that I did not list, like in Kissimmee (hope I spelled it right) FL, where you can do all rotations, but they are blue. Hope this resolves any questions. For more info on rotations refer to this link:

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much Juni for all of your hardwork!

One question though... do any of the states require that electives/selectives be "green" or does it only matter for the cores?

Thanks,
Christen
