In sum, 3 express Questions:

1) Is there a 1-year “rule” whereby if you are denied to IM, you must wait 1-year to reapply? Is it true in all departments too?
2) What are the routes to gain admission A) completing an online Patient Appointment Request form, or B) Having your MD refer you? Is it one or the other or both?
3) Given the facts of needing an IM doctor be the quarterback, should my neurologist speak to a IM doctor or another neurologist?

Please feel free to comment on any implied questions that are in my above comments as well. Thank you.
