What is a Greenbook rotation?
The point of this thread is so I can link it to my signature and never again have to define the term ‘greenbook rotation’. A greenbook rotation is one that either has or is affiliated with an ACGME-residency program in the same field as the rotation. The reason for the term ‘green book’ is because the ACGME publishes a list of these accredited residency programs in a book that happens to be green. This list is also available for free on their website – ACGME Accredited Program and Institutional Listing – Public Access. There are several reasons to choose Greenbook rotations. The most important I think is the ability to practice in the maximum number of states.
