So a lot of sports med websites, including the AMSSM, recommend away rotations in residency (2 week or 4 week) at a fellowship program sometime in the spring of 2nd year or early 3rd year. However, I'm working on setting up my second year schedule and I'm getting pushback from my program about this (newer program in FM) saying that there are issues with paying me while I'm off campus and that there are issues about keeping residents on campus during the first several years of a new program. Anyone know about this and how to work around it? I think if I push hard enough I can make it happen but I didn't think there would be this many walls to getting a proper away rotation with a fellowship.
Fortunately, there is a sports med doctor locally that we have some relationship with that I could rotate with as a backup for a month, but he isn't associated with a fellowship (although he did train at a quality place).
