Currently an M3. Interest is to end up in PP (single or multispeciality group partnership on the E coast) rad onc. Yes I have read about doom and gloom in the field.
Large public MD School East Coast
Stats: 247 STEP1
Preclinical- P/F school. Not junior AOA
Clinical- H-Medicine, Surgery, Ob-gyn, Neurology, Psychiatry. Still have peds and FM to go. Shelf grades all 90th-99th percentile. Decent shot at possible senior AOA. Plan on taking STEP 2 CK early and trying to knock it out of the park (I know this won't help much, but it won't hurt and I just want to get it out of the way).
Research: Did a research year at a Top 3 (got connected via summer research program I did there between M1 and M2)- (all translational and/or basic) 2 abstracts, 1 presentation, will be middle author on 2 basic science papers hopefully out this year (I seriously hope that this isn't delayed). Currently working with department on a clinical project. I should have been way more on top of this 3rd year, but I am not naturally that amazing of a student, so I was trying to just focus and work my ass off to get honors in everything. Looking back, should have done more research stuff. I have random stuff research wise from undergrad, including a couple presentations at summer REU type research programs and math research presentation on combustion transition zones between laminar and turbulent flow (totally irrelevant stuff basically).
ECs: national level positions in the AMA over the past three years (bulk of time for EC related stuff). Did random stuff like testify in front of state legislature a couple times. Mandated to do 50 hours community service so helped lead SAT class for underprivileged kids in area (absolutely nothing special just cookie cutter filler crap)
What are some places that are more PP geared with a reasonable reputation that I have a chance at matching?
