Busy Week

Wow! This past week has been crazy busy. Here we go:

1) Congratulations to all of my residency applicant advisees: I am thrilled by the enormous success the Match brought to these candidates in a variety of fields. (For fun, here is a play list of Match Day videos from medical schools around the country.)

2) The AMSA national conference was a great, great success. “Interview Like a Ninja” sessions were really robust, and we had a full auditorium at my lecture. Thanks to a very engaged audience.

3) Please take a look at my headlining article on the Student Doctor Network home page, “Tales from an Insider….”

Whew! I’m ready for a rest.

Residency Application Help: AMSA National Convention

I have been asked to be a featured speaker at the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) Annual Convention for the fourth year in a row. I’m grateful for the opportunity to interact with AMSA members again. In the past, the American Medical Student Association’s national meetings have been the largest annual gatherings of medical students in the United States.

I’ll be offering an interactive lecture called, “Getting Into Residency: An Insider’s Tips” on Friday, March 13 at 3pm in Washington, DC. Last year, we had a standing-room only crowd. More on the talk as we approach the date.

In the meantime, for those applying to residency programs this year or next, contact me for help with your residency application, the residency interview, and personal statement writing.
