U.S. Residency Application Advice

I've received some really great advice from colleagues, residents, faculty, and online sources over the last year about the U.S. residency application process and the couples match. I attempt to compile the most helpful tips here and add my own insight (as a Canadian IMG from Saba entering my first choice family medicine residency) as a means to "pay it forward."  Choose electives wisely:  You can really focus on networking and finding a residency during fourth year. My strategy was to  do rotations at hospitals that had a family medicine residency program  even if my rotation wasn’t in that specialty. While I was there, I would ask for a meeting with the program director or try to get in on some of the family medicine lectures. I ended up interviewing at 3 places I rotated at plus I received interviews in all 6 states that I did rotations in. For example, I did 6 months of rotations in Louisiana and then received 4 interviews in that state. I was told by a pr...

Eurotrip Part 1: London & Amsterdam

Image
I just returned from an amazing 2-week trip around Europe. The trip itself was everything I wanted out of it and more. It was a too-quick whirlwind of a tour but I saw just about everything I wanted to see and ate everything I wanted to eat. I ate croissants in Paris and schnitzel in Germany. I rode a gondola in Italy and went paragliding in Austria. And so much more.  But what could have been a great trip with amazing sights was made phenomenal by the people on my tour group. We came from very diverse walks of life – different countries and different careers. We had a doctor (a real one, not me), a cop, a nurse, a carpenter, a social worker, a teacher, an accountant... you get the idea. It amazes me how you can meet someone who lives on a different continent than you and just hit it off right away. I felt that the most with Tiffany from South Africa. We roomed together every night and cried together when we had to leave. I have already planted the seed for her to v...
