I'm looking very hard at med/peds, but will apply to peds programs at places I'm interested in that lack med/peds programs.
My current month is a medicine sub-i, because my med/peds advisor wants me to make sure that I like the medicine part enough to make it worthwhile. It's going okay, but the experience is pushing me in different directions - in part because I'm not on an academic inpatient service, but with a private clinician/volunteer faculty, and the rotation is very heavy on clinic time (an extremely, extremely busy clinic at that, which hampers any sort of teaching time).
My away rotation next month is exactly that, an audition month.
I do understand your point, and I am taking a rads month, a month with our student-run clinic (I was an executive board member for the clinic as an M2), and a month abroad in Australia. December is currently an Adult Pulmonary Service, but I might change it. January is blocked for interviews, February is Australia, March is Peds Pulm (which I again might change) and April is essentially a vacation month, but as an M4 TA, I will have commitments throughout the year including weekly meetings with my M1's, grading of assignments and being present to grade the OSCE's for the M1's and M2's on multiple Saturdays throughout the year. It was either do that, or complete a basic anatomy dissection over the course of three days and have the rest of the month off anyways.
