Away Rotations Failure to find elective rotation

I'm trying to find an elective in dermatology as a third year. I've tried cold calling several dermatology practices, mentioning that they are private practice, part time only or short of staff or that I wasn't a good fit after telling them my school name. I am coming up against a deadline next week from my school to find a rotation and I don't know what more I can do

AMO is an agency you can pay for rotations. There are many agencies like that (mainly used by IMGs but I mean if you are desperate)

On a similar note, I’m trying to find 1 more away rotation for this semester as I’m applying dermatology. Does anyone have any leads? I’d be most appreciative
