All 7 EOR rotations
Family Medicine EOR →
Family Medicine is the broadest EOR — outpatient primary care across every age and organ system. Breadth beats depth: you're tested on recognizing and initially managing common presentations, screening, and health maintenance.
Internal Medicine EOR →
Internal Medicine rewards depth in adult inpatient medicine — workup, interpretation of labs and imaging, and stepwise management of complex disease.
Surgery EOR →
The Surgery EOR centers on the acute abdomen, surgical decision-making, and perioperative management — knowing when imaging, the OR, or observation is the right next step.
Pediatrics EOR →
Pediatrics tests developmental milestones, immunizations, age-specific presentations, and the can't-miss pediatric emergencies.
Psychiatry EOR →
Psychiatry is criteria-driven: know the DSM-5 thresholds, first-line pharmacology, and the emergencies (suicidality, serotonin syndrome, NMS, withdrawal).
Emergency Medicine EOR →
Emergency Medicine is about triage and the can't-miss diagnosis: stabilize first, recognize life threats, and pick the highest-yield next step.
Gynecologic, Sexual, and Reproductive Health EOR →
The GSRH EOR — PAEA's new name for the Women's Health exam, effective July 27, 2026 — spans obstetrics, gynecology, breast health, contraception, sexual health, and preventive care, with a strong emphasis on obstetric emergencies, abnormal bleeding, and cancer screening.
