Road to Residency short video series: Specialty Exploration and Residency Planning in Patient Care Phase Clerkships
In preparation for the start of clerkships, your career advisors have developed a short 3-part video series. This series begins to lay out the Road to Residency through the Patient Care Phase. It is important for MS2s to watch these videos prior to starting their first clerkship in order to:
- Lay the groundwork for the Road to Residency
- Understand the specialty exploration approach, key planning strategies and timelines
All three videos are found in the Early Career Planning Career Advising Media Site Library:
- Video 1: Evaluating Specialty Fit and Understanding Applicant Characteristics (14 minutes)
- Video 2: Career Planning Timeline & Career Advising Support Team (7 minutes)
- Video 3: Planning for Your Elective Block (4 minutes)
If you have questions about your elective block after watching the video please come to Career Advising’s Office Hours via Zoom. Offices hours are Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. AK, noon PT, 1 p.m. MT. There won’t be office hours during the week of March 11 due to Match and SOAP.
Tip of the Month” from the Career Advising Student Advisory Board
We hope Step 1 Dedicated is going well. We won’t overwhelm you with any career advising tasks but pay attention to which topics you’re enjoying reviewing. This might be a helpful clue as to which specialty you will enjoy one day. Keep up the great work!
