If you’re applying for residency, make sure to check out FREIDA, which has a lot of improvements. As a reminder, FREIDA Online® is a database with over 9,400 graduate medical education programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), plus 100 combined specialty programs.
General information about programs – percentage of residents who are international medical graduates (IMGs), percentage who are doctors of osteopathy (DOs), and minimum Step scores (to name a few) – are all useful in deciding where to assign your application in September. But now that we’re into November, you can search the system for other factors that might affect how you rank programs – work schedule, salary, whether a night float system exists, etc.
FREIDA is an amazing, free resource that you should not overlook.
