brett.diallo (Student) MUA has affiliated rotation sites in Florida. Miami and the surrounding areas have a significant presence of Caribbean school clinical programs. The patient diversity and case mix in South Florida hospitals is excellent.
milan.asante (Student) For students planning to match in Florida eventually, doing rotations there makes strategic sense. Local programs see your name and face before application season.
linda.young (Student) Adding to brett.diallo's point. The cost of living in Miami specifically is high. Rent near the good rotation hospitals has gone up significantly. Factor that into your budget when planning Florida rotations.
ccampos (Student) Not entirely with brett.diallo on this one. Climate-wise the adjustment from Nevis to Florida is minimal which is a small practical advantage over going somewhere like Boston or Chicago in winter.
coleb (Student) I did my internal medicine rotation in Fort Lauderdale. The attending was a good teacher, the resident team was engaged, and I got strong clinical exposure.
jaycarr (Alumni) Ask the clinical office for the specific hospitals by name before accepting a Florida rotation placement. The state is large and the quality varies by institution.
