Med students from small/new medical schools, from underserved backgrounds, applying to competitive specialities, or with "red flags" on their applications have relied on away rotations to show their skills to programs.
I know it was important for my application as an MS4.

I agree, but can’t minimize the importance of understanding the background/communities of your patients in these hospitals. They’re not just there to teach us. Centuries of racist policies have created these disparities & it’s on us to recognize that too.
If you are a med student considering where you next wish to train, I'd suggest a tough, inner-city, low-income hospital. You will see much more, and do much more, than if you choose some swank, country-club like place.

I think if you’re passionate about helping an underserved population, you should go there and you will learn a lot. But if it’s not where your heart lies, please don’t send overly privileged doctors to learn medicine from a community that they won’t try to understand
