In your experience, do you offer most students that do an audition rotation an interview? Is this something that a student can reasonably expect when doing a audition rotation? Follow up, are programs more likely to accept a student who has rotated through?

September/October rotation too late for sloe? Do PDs wait for the sloes to come in?

Is it still important to get a SLOE from an away rotation ending late November, if you already have 2 SLOEs?

Is it still possible to match at a program where you turned down an away rotation?

If your home institution grades your EM rotation pass/fail, will PD's know this or will they assume you did not get honors?

Following the first message asked about the likelihood of receiving an interview at an institution at which one does an away rotation, I scheduled an away rotation in January at an institution I have a strong interest in, because I start fourth year late. How would you feel about an average candidate to which you did not extend an early interview contacting you and saying, "Dear Program Director, I am doing a late rotation with you because I have a strong interest in your program. I hope you might consider scheduling an interview during my rotation as I give your program its own opportunity to evaluate me as a future EM physician"?

How many patients do you expect a sub-i student to see on an 8 hour shift? How much time do you expect them to spend interviewing/planning/presenting them to you?

Also, does volunteering to put together educational presentations for other students/residents look good and helpful, or just look like a gunner?

Is it ok to tell a PD after rotating how much you want to be with their program? IE: Love the program, my family/husband are here, this is where I want to be or is this a too forward thing to do?

How often is an interview offered during an audition rotation? Thank you!

If the earliest I can get a SLOE is September, is it better to wait to submit the application after I get the SLOE in September or is that too late?

Do you have advice for balancing being thorough in your patient interactions/presentations and being efficient? I know this takes practice and preferences can vary among attendings, but I’d appreciate your view on this. Thank you!

If we rotate in a community ED (in addition to locations with a residency program), should we have the clerkship director there complete a SLOE even if they are not the residency director?

Perhaps I was too verbose in writing my question: what do you think of a student doing a January away rotation? Would it be reasonable to contact the institution if they didn't give you an early interview, stating you are rotating with them late and would love to interview at that time?

Interview offers will likely be sent while on shift. Any thoughts on how to appropriately quickly respond to those interview slots without looking like I am not focused on my current work? i.e. responding to emails on my phone.

If you can get a SLOE from your core EM rotation but are also doing three away rotations is it best to just wait on the away SLOE’s? You mentioned diminishing returns.

Going back to that first questions, would it be better if your third/fourth away was an ultrasound or toxicology rotation?
Vir Singh

Is a candidate that, due to scheduling issues, has to take STEP II in October, does that make an otherwise solid candidate dead in the water? Does notifying programs of the score when released in November mitigate this - or is it too late?
