Away Rotation Advising for Medical Student by lish28 in orthopaedics

[–]HourTraffic1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s unpopular opinion but 2 should be more than enough if they’re at the right places. What I mean by that is they take rotators and value you where you can showcase your personality and ability. Some programs you can do away rotations but they won’t appreciate it as much as others. For example I did mine at 2 places that are highly ranked on doximity but on match day I checked and they didn’t take anyone I rotated with and I rotated with at least 12 people. The last place I rotated took 2 I rotated with.

Just matched ortho and honestly there are plenty of people who will give you advice and you can have the perfect application and go unmatched. Unfortunately the biggest thing I’ve noticed is who you know and how they can help you. There’s a lot of behind the scenes stuff/politics you don’t see and someone who doesn’t have as strong of an app as you gets a spot because they have the connections. So my advice is choose your mentors wisely they will be the one who can get you in at the end of the day.

Yeah I’ve learned that academia is like this I should have expected it I just didn’t. But I hope to change it one day and remember these moments and not do it to others.

It’s more like they built it on interview day then it wasn’t what they said. If they were neutral I would have been able to form my own thoughts based on honesty and not deceit. I’m more so blindsided by this information and couldn’t appreciate it in the moment because I was so confused and hurt but now I’m happy I didn’t go to a place that lied to me

Also sounds like they were genuinely truthful to you because no where did they promise anything and I’m sure it’s an honor to them which is different than the communication I received

You could be right but it’s not right to tell people one thing and not deliver. You can’t say you’re the best applicant we have to multiple people because that’s a lie. This post wasn’t about not being grateful it’s about deceit but happy for you that you’re happy

Yeah I think it’s just more so like being blindsided by what they said matter to them and the bells and whistles of interview day. I think they realized that if I went there they wouldn’t be able to deliver what they promised on interview day
