25-26Rotators reported limited hands-on opportunities in the general clinic during this cycle, with high clinic volume and long patient wait times. Structure: one week each in general, plastics/neuro/glaucoma, retina, cornea. Retina was described as a standout clinic with more student involvement and scrub opportunities. Rotators reported the rotation is on the less-organized end. Open-book 6-question quiz at rotation end. Rotators reported being told all away students receive interviews.
24-25Rotators reported hands-on time in general comp clinic, with most other subspecialty clinics more shadowing-focused. Based at Newark for all 4 weeks, cycling by subspecialty. OR time includes possible oculoplastics scrub-in. LOR continuity described as limited given the weekly service rotation. Rotators reported interview invites were expected. Safety outside the hospital was noted as a practical consideration.
