So the Dean of Academic Affairs came in to talk to us yesterday about getting ready for 3rd year. As part of that speech, they told us about an online section on the school’s website where we had to rank our choices for our 3rd year rotations. To be honest it felt very good to even be sitting in a meeting about 3rd year rotations. The fact that the meeting was even taking place meant that this hell of a 2nd year would soon be over. As exciting as chosing my 3rd year rotations is, it is quite hard also to get the right order down. In theory, you don’t want to do a rotation in the field that you think you want to go into until you have gained enough basic skills from other core rotations; since I still think that I want to go into General Surgery, it would make sense for me to get my core skills down first in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, OB-GYN, etc. So below are the 8 different tracks that I have to rank in order from 1 to 8, with one being my most desired track (click the picture to see the whole thing):
So there you have it. I’ve talked to a good amount of 3rd years that I trust and I am leaning towards a couple of tracks. I’ll blog about my choices soon.
