Peer to Peer: Road to Residency Tip of the Month
This advice is for all students and includes first generation and BIPOC student lenses.
MS3s: Many of you are finishing Patient Care Phase. After Step 2, you will do rotations in the field(s) you want to explore further before applying to residency. 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 residency application cycle begins. Be prepared to provide them with your grades, Step 1 and 2 results, CV/activities and background, so they can support you with application strategies based upon their assessment of your competitiveness and your goals.
