You designate a CHC. Don't choose one you don't want to go to. You will do your rotations at that CHC and the surrounding area with a mix of preceptorships and hospitals too. You also have the choice of doing electives wherever as well. For some programs, especially ones in competitive states to get residency like California and New York, I see this as a plus... but only if you want to do something in the realm of primary care (IM, EM, FM, etc.). Then again it is what you make it. SOMA had a match at Loma Linda for Neurosurgery..... so obviously the CHC doesn't really hinder you in anyway. After talking to many students at the CHC I will be going to, there is MORE than enough time to study because you don't have to be stuck in class all day.. only meet your preceptor once a week... had a leg up in certain clinical situations (experience with colonoscopies, reading MRIs, etc.).
I could be wrong but hopefully somebody else can chime in with much more solid info.
Paging @SLC , @keels99 (these are past and current students, respectively, who can possibly add more to the convo).
