This experience is an exciting time which will give us further insight into our interests and final career decisions.

We have many options available to us, ranging from small community hospitals to large academic medical centers. As such, we will each have a unique set of clinical experiences from which to draw on for the rest of our careers. This guide was created to provide information about each affiliate hospital and the various rotations they offer. We have tried to make this as helpful and complete as possible.
