alexis.barnett (Student) Anyone done rotations in Atlanta specifically through XUSOM? Trying to find out how the site compares to the New York placements in terms of clinical exposure.
dariust (Alumni) Did part of my internal medicine rotation in Chicago. Solid exposure, busy hospital, the residents were decent teachers. The weather is brutal though, plan accordingly if you're coming from somewhere warm.
lisakhan (Alumni) Atlanta rotations have been hit or miss from what I've heard from classmates. The specific hospital matters a lot more than the city. Ask the clinical office which exact facility you'd be at.
josepha (Student) Chicago was good for me in terms of patient volume and case diversity. The commute within the city can be rough depending on where you're housed. Factor that into your daily budget.
anatelfer (Alumni) lisakhan covered the main points well. I had the option of Atlanta or New York for my medicine rotation and chose New York. The connection to programs I was interested in applying to later felt stronger there.
nelsons (Student) Both cities have ACGME-accredited hospitals where XUSOM students rotate. Get the specific hospital name before you commit to either location and look up their residency programs.
