I am still learning. Maybe one day I will win that spelling bee


@doctam3

Thanks would like to hear the PDs opinion!

Clinical rotations are not "work". Every program knows that Carib grads do 2 years of clinicals in the US.

Definitely don't put it in any section of ERAS!

I had the same question when I was doing my application. Since the goal is to show them we have us clinical experience, what I did was make one line that said "Clinical Rotations- All Core and elective rotations completed at US teaching hospitals." Thats all I put.

[ArchivalUser]

alright so I asked a couple of the PDs i know personally and they all said the same thing:

- You do not have to list the clinical rotations you completed via your school. Those are automatically included in your med school transcript.

- You DO have to list ANY clinical rotation you did outside of your med school curriculum as an extra that were NOT specified to be done by your med school. (this goes under work experience)
---

for point # 2 ... clarification >> if you did more internal medicine after your core internal medicine rotation finished at another hospital, you would list it as work experience.

--- if you did cardiology as an elective but your school was offering cardiology as an elective choice, then you dont have to list it .. bc the school would still be sponsoring the rotation. If however your school was not offering cardiology as a choice for an elective at whichever hospitals you're able to do rotations at .. but you still did cardio on your own via one of your school's rotation hopsitals.. DO list this as work experience.

-- extra rotations aka an observership or externships that you did after any rotation to gain further knowledge into said rotation.. counts as out of school experience and should be listed as work experience.

hope this helps.

@doctam

Thank you for finding out. This has been the best answer I've heard so far.
They should be more clear in eras. I really appreciate it! Thank you!

[ArchivalUser]

I would strongly discourage you from putting it. It is most definitely not work experience. When you go to clinical clerkships you are not working. You are not getting paid, instead paying thousands to learn. How would you pass it as a job. In this context under your duties you cannot list learning. This looks foolish and unprofessional

[ArchivalUser]

I have spoken to some program coordinators who recommend you do not put your clerkship rotation down in resume unless you are doing some externship or oberservership. Given you are Carb grad I would not recommend it.

On the other I had a friend who is also Carb grad who did this (only the ones that showed his interest in his field, EM, which he matched into). ERAS will tell you it is legit to put it, but remember every space on your CV is prime space so you have to be careful what you place is worth noting.

[ArchivalUser]

Oh gosh. I was going to put my rotations as work experience because I thought maybe that's one of the reasons why I didn't match. Now I'm confused. Last year I didn't get any interviews. My scores are not horrible.
