Hello! I'm an FMG --well, not yet since I'm still a medical student, but I'll be graduating next year so I'm almost there!
I want to do Internal Medicine on USA, and I'm currently building my application.
Starting this year, my University offered us a 1-month away rotation on Texas and Miami. Without thinking I took it since it was a way to obtain USCE and I currently have 0. Now, I don't know which state I should pick. I googled both options, but I don't get much info. These are the options:
I don't get how the Texas rotation works, since there's just 1 doctor for all of that. Maybe he works in all 4?
- Miami: Palmetto General Hospital.
- Texas (4 hospitals): Valley Baptist Medical Center (Brownsville and Harlingen), Valley Regional Medical Center and Harlingen Medical Center.
I didn't know which one to pick, so I researched both of my 2 possible preceptors in each state, and it looks like the doctor in Miami has more work in research fields so I chose that (I can still change it, but I have until monday though).
I would like to get a strong LOR from this away rotation since I have none and it could be my only chance at getting one from an US MD.
Any tips on how should I approach this? Is there maybe a website/resource that US med students have in which they rate away rotations?
Thank you very much for your time.
