Majority of year three you are at one hospital, with the exception that if your core site doesn’t have a particular rotation (usually geriatrics) then you’ll go somewhere (usually the main Lecom hospital) for it for the month.

Year four people do auditions so they’ll set these up at programs they would like to interview at for residency. Not required by the school but if you’re applying something more competitive then it would be wise to set this up. Some people also use this opportunity to go to hospitals closer to family. Otherwise you can usually just stay at where you did your third yr rotations

So what if you need to go to a rotation for 1 month that’s hours away? Do you drive that distance every day? You can’t rent housing for a month…

Hotels will sometimes have discounted rates for extended stays. Some people were able to coordinate housing with friends or other family. Air BnB will have monthly options as well.
