Rotation Site Panel

Rotation Site Panel

For 2nd year students and their families, the beginning of Spring semester brings a lot of questions and anxiety about Step 1 exams, 3rd year core rotations, and the rotation site lottery. In the third week of February, all 2nd year students will rank each of the 23 core rotation sites and submit their ranked list for the lottery. Sometime in March, they will find out what core site they have been assigned and this is where they will be moving for 3rd (and potentially 4th) year.

In follow-up to the January information session with Dr. Wieting, the SAA will host a panel of current 3rd and 4th years spouses and significant others, in person and via online chat, who will provide us with information related to their experiences with rotations and their core rotation sites. The panel will also answer specific questions from any students and families in attendance.

SAA has compiled an informational packet of questions and answers about each core site from at least one 3rd or 4th year student or significant other, which will be provided at the meeting and available for download on the SAA facebook page and blog. Topics covered in the packet include the lottery, finding housing, moving, finances, social support, students hours and experience, student traveling, living situation for long distance families, and general advice.

Please join us for the Rotation Site Panel on February 7th at 6pm in DCOM 306.
