Here’s the last chance to give the school your feedback in the latest survey
Here is a message from Sara Kim, Ph.D., associate dean for Educational Quality Improvement: Here is the last request for you to consider completing the survey. Your peers raised the rate to 68 percent (up 6 percentage points) from the past week. I would love to share with the entire class next week that you helped meet or exceed the 75 percent mark. To do that, we only need enough volunteers to raise 7 more percentage points!
The customized survey link is sent to you from eqi@uw.edu every Tuesday afternoon, and those continuing the survey can pick up from where you left off when you click on the link.

Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
While on rotations, try to secure at least one person who can write a letter for your residency application. If an attending offers to write you a letter in the future, take them up on it! If they don’t offer one naturally, but you connect with them and do well on the rotation, ask if they feel they can write you a strong letter of rec. Away rotation applications also often require letters, so stay in touch with these letter writers! Here’s some more info from Career Advising on letters of recommendation.
