yes im curious about this as well. i know ppl at ross do it all the time but it would be nice if we coudl as well...
can set up electives if you find a hospital with a residency program in that area willing to accept you - but can't do that for cores
most state licensure (in strict states) don't allow more than 12 weeks to be done outside of your med school's affiliation. to answer your question, setting up all your cores and electives yourself, no.
you can apply for away electives to do during your 4th year at programs and areas you wish to match in though.
I was just curious about a few core rotations not all of them. Thanx for answering.
Are there any hospitals that you guys know of that have accepted our students for away electives?
You are not allowed to complete cores outside of the schools rotations. This is an accreditation issue. You are allowed to do electives only outside of the school affiliated hospitals.
This was informative
anyone know if you can do any non-AUA affiliated electives first before starting cores... since some of us are waiting to get a spot somewhere.
i would really save your away electives. i believe you're only allowed to do up to 12 weeks of rotations not affiliated with your school and when there is only 27 weeks of electives, then you really don't have much time.Quote:
