Please take the Specialty & Residency Planning Survey
This Friday, April 5, you will receive an email from medadv@quemailserver.com with the subject line, “Response Needed: Specialty & Residency Planning Survey for Match 2025 – Due April 16.”
The email contains a Qualtrics survey link and is a trustworthy email.
Because Qualtrics is new to us, the email will say “from an untrusted sender” — but this is a trustworthy link for a required survey. So you can be prepared, here is an image of what the warning looks like. But please do take the survey.
If you have any questions, please contact medadv@uw.edu.

Road to Residency Tip of the Month from the Career Advising Student Advisory Board
Many of you are finishing Patient Care Phase. After Step 2, you will do rotations in the field(s) you wish to enter. Now is the time to contact your specialty career advisor(s), if you are not already sure you are on their advising list. Get on the advisor’s radar for your top two specialties so you are ready when the new application cycle begins. Provide them with your grades, Step 1 and 2 results, activities and background so they can support you with application strategies based upon their assessment of your competitiveness and your goals.
