Episode 030 - VSLO, Audition Rotations, and Suriving OMS Year 4

Jason, Scott and the rest of the ACOP wants to wish all of you a very Happy and Healthy 2024. To kick off this year’s ACOPedscast we have a special episode coming out at the start of the month geared specifically for OMS-3 listeners who are preparing to start scheduling your fourth year away rotations. Recorded at the end of 2023, Jason and Scott sit down with Fourth Year Student Trustee Member, Jasmine Yu and her classmate Lauren Tice to discuss their experiences with all things fourth year.  

We discuss everything from enjoying some well-earned free time, to balancing Board prep with studying for rotations, and of course the ever daunting task of navigating through VSLO to arrange for away rotations. Our guest discuss what they felt helped, advice the had been given, and things they wish they knew heading into fourth year.  

This candid and wide-ranging conversation is a must-listen resource for students preparing for your final year of medical school.  

For further information regarding some of the resources discussed in the podcast you can look at: 

www.furnishedfinder.com or www.rotatingroom.com for information about how to secure housing for rotations. Both Student Doctor Yu and Tice have agreed to answer further questions. If you have any please send them to Pedscast@acopeds.org and we will forward them to our guests for answering.  

Thanks always for your continued listening and support of our podcast and other ACOP publications. Be on the lookout for more opportunities coming in 2024 to get involved. If you have any questions or requests, reach out to Jason and Scott at pedscast@acopeds.org. 

Happy New Year!
