Medical - Medical (general) / Private hospitals in Spain
Spanish term or phrase: rotar/rotando
I know what it means, but am unable to find the exact word in English.

En 1992 comienza estudios de hematología y oncología en el hospital St Luke's and Roosevelt, del programa de dicha especialidad del Columbia Presbyterian University College of Physicians and Surgeons, rotando hasta completar la especialidad en 1995 por los hospitales Roosevelt, St Luke's y Columbia Presbyterian.

BTW is "especialidad" "specialism"?? or "speciality"

Asker: Sorry, I just cannot use "rotate" (I could have thought of that :-) I am sure most English speakers will visualise somebody going round and round, like a sphere...?
