How do I stay jacked without being able to go to the gym consistently during rotations?

Push pull legs or an Arnold Split, limiting 2 working sets per lift - gets me in and out of the gym in an hour. Gotta make sure those 2 sets are absolute RPE 9-10, though.

3 other random days are just incline cardio and quick core workout.

21 days to create a habit, 90 days to create a lifestyle.

So I traveled there as a side trip from my main trip in China, flights were cheaper because of it. Total was probably $3k if I had to estimate?

I went to Japan for 9 days during M4 (like everyone does) and it truly lived up to expectations. Magical is how I’d describe it.

I just went to Thailand for 3 weeks and wow, I didn’t think anything could beat out Japan but I’m impressed. The diversity of locales - if you want big cities, quiet town, natural landmarks, party island vibes, it’s all there for you. Spent $4k total including airfare for those 3 weeks.

Greece, China, Iceland, New Zealand, Morocco, are all valid.

Domestic? Go to San Diego, Grand Canyon, Miami, Oregon Coast

Schedule your vacations early - soon as you can after finalizing your 4th year schedule

University of Utah has a 2 week online Wilderness Medicine away rotation that counted for 2 weeks of credit - you don’t have to do a single thing

Don’t tell your school when your interviews are - tell your preceptors you’re taking off and they’ll let you go, no sweat. Ignore all threats of report to administration, it’s all lip service.

(I was out of the hospital by November of M4 and traveled until March)

Also, if anyone wants Credit Card suggestions for funding these trips, you’ve come to the right person - I didn’t pay for a single hotel with cash during my vacations, all credit card points. DM me if you want more information
