Hello everyone!
I have been aware of the change of USMLE Step 1 to P/F. Moreover, my medical school is lower/mid tier MD, not true P/F, does rank, and also selects AOA. I am interested in pursuing a competitive residency (hopefully in either an integrated surgical sub-specialty or interventional radiology). I have a couple of questions for you folks:
1) How are you making your application "stand out" to program directors for residencies? How can I get secure a solid MSPE for my ERAS?
2) What additional activities did you accomplish during your pre-clinical years?
3) I have read many other SDN posts regarding "networking". How do you network with and contact other research/clinical faculty?
4) How long (on average) did you prepare for Step 2 CK?
5) I have an additional master's in healthcare administration/systems, with a data analytics certification. How will this impact my future apps?
Thank you for your time and input!
