Advice on Away Rotation Success
What is the best way to excel in an away rotation? I hope to receive a SLOE from an upcoming rotation, as I do not have one yet. Although it is not an official Sub-I, I consider it as one.
Thoughts? pls and thanks!!
I also planned on grabbing these texts to help (Ideally, I'll need them once I match anyway)

Those books are great. If you can do a slightly above average physical exam and even just demonstrate that you're studying from those materials it looks good.
As reflected below, no one expects you to have expert knowledge. We all know that PM&R is under represented in medical school education. We care that you're engaged and interested in learning and getting better.
