Hello all,
As the residency application cycle begins, I've noticed that quite a few classmates/and people I personally know applying to a variety of programs have begun changing their names on social media. I personally don't have anything incriminating on my personal sites, nothing politically charged,etc, so I'm not truly concerned. But I do wonder if programs search the names of their applicants on Facebook. I'm just surprised at how many students/applicants have changed their names...I barely recognize half my newsfeed..lol.
If you are currently a resident, AEGD/GPR/Ortho/OMFS/anything, did you change your name on social media during the application process? Did you think it affected your interview invites? Do you think it even matters or are people just paranoid?
