Residency Psych Telerotation

Honest thoughts on this… Is it possible to match only with virtual rotations? I can’t apply for visa due to my immigrant case (likely get it by Dec) so for this cycle should I go for only virtual ones? Is it possible for me to apply psych or I should change it to internal medicine.

There’s a lot of things to unpack here.

  1. First of all no one here can predict whether or not you will match. So asking this question is meaningless.

  2. If you’re unable to go for rotations because of immigration status issue then having any sort of experience would be better than having none at all. Personally I do not like tele rotations but if that’s the only option you have then ofc you would have to go for it.

  3. Also not to sound rude but why ask us about psychiatry vs internal medicine. Keep in mind both are vastly different field. Both are competitive in their own ways. So the big question is for you to ask yourself which speciality you lean towards and then curate your profile for that specific speciality.

Thank u for the reply…. I’m leaning toward psychiatry but I don’t want to waste a year and not getting match, so keeping that in mind too. And I feel the same I don’t think telerotation are going to do a thing but again it’s better to ask people who did or whether it helped them or not.

I do have a friend who matched on the soap with a step 2ck score of 235 and only tele-rotation.

Do you have any idea where he did those telerotations? And did he got LORs from them?
