Hi,
Is it better to do a SICU rotation in beggining of 4th year or end of 4th year? I am looking to go into Anesthesia and so I was considering a SICU rotation in September.
There is one place with an available rotation but its a SICU Sub-I and to be honest I'm a bit intimidated by doing a Sub-I with critically ill patients so early in my 4th year.
One of the main reasons I want to do a SICU so early in my 4th year is because I feel like it will look good to Anesthesiology residencies I'm applying to as well as potentially delivering me a good letter of rec which Anesthesiology programs will value.
Does anyone have opinions on SICU vs. MICU w/ my Anesthesiology goals and where are some places that peopel did electives? Any positive or really negative experiences? Places I should stay away from? Thank you.
