It's a preeliminar year in various specialities. You will rotate 1 or 2 months in IM, then 1 or 2 months in surgery, the in Obs/gyn and then in peds or in ER. YOu also have about 4 months of electives. It's it for AMG's that are not sure of what speciality they want to get in.

Why AMG's?. It's one of the most competitive spots, less workload, not much compromise with services but yet you furfill the requirement of 1 year or GME.

It's very difficult for IMG to match in one of those
