Primary Care - So happy I'm starting with this. I'm theory I'm best prepared for it. It's what I asked for and suppose to be a great site. Hopefully I'll be wrong about not liking Primary Care.
Psych - Far, far commute but suppose to be a great rotation site. Was told by many to sit in on Music Therapy.
Emergency Medicine - Didn't get what I wanted and felt a little taken advantage of, but it's a <15 minute commute and I've heard it's a good site.
Long Term Care - Again, taken advantage of because I have a car. There were two sites 15 minutes from me but they give me the one 1 hour away (before traffic). Oh well, not the end of the world.
Pediatrics (ER) - Got what I asked for, for better or worse. Another really short commute at the same site I have EM. They're going to get to know me there.
Surgery - Got what I asked for. I'm at a site that has like zero students and is very one-on-one with the surgeon. Lots of OR time, again for better or worse.
OBGYN - Easy commute. Heard you don't do much. That is a blessing.
Internal Medicine - Been hearing mixed reviews about this site. I'm very happy it's one of my last rotations. I'll be better prepared for the site, which is important because I want to excel at that site. I'm hoping I can get a job offer at this site.
ICU - This is my elective. It's pure perfection that it's my last rotation AND right after Internal Medicine at the SAME hospital as Internal Medicine.
At first I was feeling taken advantage of because I said I had a car and could live with my family (which is closer to other sites). But you know, none of the sites have bad reviews. I thought it over and realized that this is probably going to be a great experience. Hopefully it means more interesting posts. I'm really excited and eager to start rotations. I feel surprisingly ready for them. My experience of working somewhere that I had no prior experience helps a great deal. I'm not afraid to interject myself, get criticized and say "I don't know."
Start date: Tuesday September 7.
