So inpatient means limited to actually being in the hospital. So these patients are sick or need to be in the hospital for workup and/or treatment. I like the fact that there is a minimal goal - get them out of the hospital. I actually do like peds well-child checks which I think its because they're more fun and they're usually healthy and you are doing something to make sure they continue to develop...whereas health care maintenance visits for adults is trying to prevent a time bomb from going off...At least thats how I justify it in my mind.
Away rotations, it seems like most places will help you find a place. The place I'm going has a list of physicans and people in the community who have hosted visiting students in the past. The other option is always to take out more loans - places like Extended StayAmerica aren't too expensive, certainly cheaper than a regular hotel.
3) Yeah, I know don't have an ICU month and they are very educational from everything I've ever heard. Part of my problem is that I'm possibly going med/peds for residency and so I need to have to do both med and peds rotations. If I was just one or another, I would for sure use that 2nd sub-i month for an ICU month of some sort. It's still possible that the peds month will be in the PICU, depending on what they place me in based on their fourth years. So...stay tuned. This schedule is still tenative at the moment I'm considering a few other things.
