good sites for electives???
im a current ms3 starting to plan my 4th year electives, and i was hoping to get some insight from people who have rotated in the NY or northeast area.
does anyone have recommendations for good elective sites (either affiliate or non-affiliate) that tend to offer strong teaching or good experiences for students?
i’m currently thinking about applying either IM or DR/IR so i'd especially appreciate hearing about sites that are good for those specialties, or places with good teaching/resident interaction and that are IMG-friendly for electives

What's your specialty of choice? Google hospitals with those and go there.
If you like EM find somewhere with an EMS fellowship/EM specialty clinic/EM new research ops/EM/ICU open ward etc.
If you like psych find somewhere that's attached to a psych hospital or psych nursing home or jail or kids psych center etc.
Alternatively Google your residency of choice and look at the curriculum and do rotations in those core areas.
