Was there supposed to be a link there?

There was, but the AAMC list I use had Florida's link connecting to Deleware's page.

Here it is. It's a little unorthodox, but it will give you what you need to do.

Florida is the sunshine state and not the greenshine state!!!!

JP
you mentioned a few cities you could do all cores at green sites. once upon a time atlanta was on the list has this changed?

JP weren't connecticut and maryland also part of the 'green' program states? and i dont know if its a yes or no, but was boston part of it ever or may be in the near future?

Atlanta is a city in which you can do all of your cores, however, Psych and Peds are non-green. FP, IM, Surgery, and OB/GYN are all green.

We no longer offer all cores in Baltimore (according to my super updated sheet I got on Thursday). You can do Psychiatry, IM, and Surgery, all of which are green.

CT is also gone for any cores (not great quality rotations) for the moment.

I updated the clinical site list at www.stmatthews.edu last week, so you can see that we've dropped some and added others.

We have pilot sites being tested right now that could add a significant amount of green rotations, and allow us to phase out more non-grees rotations.

So could you explain the green / non-green thing again.

This is how I understood it....

if a site is green for say IM, FP and Peds, then that site has ACGME approved residencies for IM, FP and Peds.... so, if a site is green for all cores, then it is ACGME approved for all core residencies?

What exactly is an ACGME residency? Why is this important and is it necessary for all states?

Another question, can you go to England, to do, say, FP, IM and Psych and then come to somewhere in the States, let's say, Chicago to do Peds, Surgery, OB/GYN?

Finally, fourth year is electives... does this mean you arrange them yourself? Can you do your electives anywhere or does the site have to be ACGME approved or green? What are the limitations on where you can go for electives?

Thanks so much!

i am from florida and would love to go back there but recent laws that passed are going to make it less desireable to do so. mainly proposition #8, the 'three strikes you're out' law that states any malpractice suit against a doctor be it dismissed, frivilous, settled, or conviction counts towards a strike. when you get to three your license is taken away....wonder were else you will be able to get licensed if you have one revoked?

last i read there was in injunction filed against it so i'l see what happens...
