Hey Everyone,
I'm a first-year medical student and am planning on doing an Emergency Medicine residency. Unless something very surprising happens during rotations, which I admit easily could, I have found EM to be the best fit for myself so far because of internships and various other reasons (such as the block-style of work hours that seem consistent and predictable), but I don't want to get too much into this for now.
I'd be highly interested in hearing some advice about what I can do as a first-year to increase my chances of securing a fantastic residency. There must be some things that really stick out to EM program directors and committees other than great step 1 scores (and yes I realize much will depend on my board scores).
Thanks a ton .
