Clinical Rotation - AAMC Website for LCME Accredited Schools

All right, so we get rolling with this whole clinical rotation finding and discovering business. The first and most comprehensive tool I've found for LCME institutions is the AAMC website which I will post here:

This is an absolutely comprehsive guide to clinical rotations at Accredited US Medical Schools. The BIG downside is that most of these schools DO NOT take foreign visiting students. Those of you that are attending medical schools in the Caribbean, Europe and Central/South America have a little extra hoof-work to do (and I know, your schools don't help you as much as you wished they would).

I'll get to some of the "tricks" for you Non-LCME folks coming up. The largest piece of advice I can give you now is that you will have to be persistent in getting your elective rotations. If you give in and give up, the system will beat you. Hang in there, it's not as hard as it seems.
