Words of Advice

Timing considerations:
Residency interviews (IUSM policy: time off
not permitted on required 4th-year courses)
How did you perform on IM Clerkship?
When was your IM Clerkship?
Which site & venue to request?
On campus vs. off campus
Wards vs. ICU (esp. Univ. Hospital ICU)
Traditional ward team vs. hospitalist-only
team
Dont plan anything else during your sub-I
