For medical school, you apply to multiple schools, hopefully get several acceptances, and choose the program that you like most. For residency, it’s not so straightforward. Instead, you’ll be using the NRMP Match and it’s Nobel Prize winning algorithm. Here’s how it works.

What did you do in between the year you didn’t match and the year you did? Did you do another year of medical school?

@drngozio3118 4 года назад

@@lilyreiser8808 No, I graduated on time. I don't think it is even possible to do an additional year of medical school, unless you failed a course. During my year off, I met with my school's program director to discuss the pitfalls of my application. Then I made the changes suggested. I found shadowing opportunities, which I used one for a new letter of recommendation. I also worked as a scribe through a company called ScribeAmerica. That was a MAJOR humbling experiencing. At that time, I had graduated from medical school with a MD in good standing but scribing. Lastly, I worked as an Epic consultant. Epic is one of the premier electronic medical record companies. And of course continue to volunteer in community/church events that I was personally interested in. Those experiences above were included in a NEW personal statement, which I also talked about the adversity of not matching. It also important to expand not only the number of programs but also to different regions when applying the following year. I definitely will be making a more in-depth and detail video on "what to do next when you go unmatch". I hope this helped!

@@sirisha7112 Not all asian countries is like that though. In my country, we also do pre-med. The 6 years med (7 years in my country) you are talking about is only for those who are really INTELLIGENT which is like in a 400 applications, only 40 would pass. If you can't pass that, then you have to go to pre-med and then medical school after.

Residency spots are funded by US taxpayers and it’s difficult for US citizens going to US medical schools, likely going on to practice in the US, to get spots. I know this post is 2 years old, but any foreign students should realize their chances at residency here are slim. Some foreign students do get accepted, but it’s ,rightfully, uncommon.

Great video. Of note (in case any med students are reading this): Preliminary and transitional year residencies are not simply for unmatched applicants or struggling students, as this video leads you to believe. I went to one for my first choice. Some are much better than others though and consider this option on a case by case basis based on your career goals.

@MultiNerve Год назад

Also: many programs are not "categorical," meaning you have to also match into a TY or prelim year. Diagnostic Radiology is a classic example of this.

Thanks so much for this video! This is the most comprehensive explanation of residency matching that I have seen so far. I would definitely be interested in more videos from you about residency in general. It seems like (real) information on what to actually expect in residency (academically, professionally, and personally) is difficult to find. I have a question about the connection between the ERAS application and doing interviews at residency programs. Is the ERAS application like a medical school application where you select which schools/programs you want to inquire about, and so your application goes to them and they like you so they call you for an interview.... or are the ERAS applications just released into cyberspace and programs just randomly select students for interviews?

Hello Dr. Jubbal! Could you please do a video on how the new Pass/fail system of the Step 1 is going to impact residency admissions and if/how much it will make your schools rank have a much higher weight

@mywaterfountain Год назад

From personal experience reviewing resident applications, medical schools have very complex letters and reading them is like trying to figure out some sort of hieroglyphic map. And each school is different with the information that they send. And we get several thousand applicants and we only spend a minute or two on each application. Most of this time is not spent trying to figure out your class rank. So unless you’re in the top 10 of your class and this is very clearly stated in your Dean’s letter, which we also don’t really spend much time reading since you probably filled out a form telling them what to write about yourself anyway, I don’t really think it’s going to change much because frankly my friends and I are going to spend anymore time trying to decipher each schools different algorithm on where you compare to your classmates. That said, your step 2 score is going to be much much more important. And failing step one is probably going to look worse because it will be hard to see if you found it by just a little bit or a lot. Hope that helps!

I interviewed at separate DO schools that said the EXACT opposite thing. 1. COMLEX gets converted to a USMLE score. 2. If you are gonna go for a competitive residency, they used neurosurgery as an example, "you bet your bottom dollar you're gonna have to take the USMLE."

@MrSharpStudios 4 года назад

Hi sorry for the delay . Military medical students participate in a different syestem and their results are delivered in December instead of March . The military residency programs are not allowed for civilians . However military med students can apply for civilian residency programs if they don’t Mach in military resdences .

@alitabatabaei4578 2 года назад

In order to be a medical officer you have two options . Opinion 1 is applying for the hpsp scholarship. The hpsp scholarship is a program where the navy , army or air force will pay for your medical education in any USA university and then commission you as a medical officer . During the 4 years you will receive litunent pay . You will pretty much have the same lifestyle as your civilian classmates until clinical rotations . During clinical rotations you will be doing rotations at military hospitals and civilian . During the match you will be going for interviews to military hospitals and ranking their programs . Option 2 going to the military medical school in Maryland .

I’m confused, when you select your rank list, are you listing programs for the specialty you want? Or, are you submitting different specialties with your top specialties higher on the list?

@Cat-mn9zh 3 года назад

You can choose what specialities to apply for at different places. However, most apply to the specialty they want at different places with maybe a backup specialty also chosen at a couple places to try and prevent being unmatched if their chosen speciality is super competitive which increases their chances of going unmatched hence the purpose of a backup less competitive speciality.
