Definately not. The junior rotations are the only way to gain an indepth understanding of typical patient presentations from the vast gamet of systemic illness presentations. If you miss out on doing the hospital rotations through general surgery, respiratory med, vascular, cardiothoracics, neuro, paeds etc etc then you will become an outpatient PT who lacks the necessary understanding of systemic illness presentation that often mimic musculoskeletal complaints.

I once thought like you and wanted to go directly into sport physio, forgetting any hospital time. Thank whoever though that I did do some extensive hospital time and to be honest I perhaps miss that time more than anything else. Not the politics of course, just the variety of patients from which to learn.
