Hey everyone,
I want to start by saying thank you for checking out my post and I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. I apologize if this is a silly question.
I will be starting medical school this summer and have a quick question regarding EC's. I know that this is slightly premature, but my mind gets to wandering when I have nothing going on (currently on break). I see over and over on the forums that ec's play a role in attaining residency. So, what exactly are these ec's? For example, I see students who wish to match EM, and speaks about their ec's. Are these ec's conducted based on the specialty in which you wish to match? What exactly do they consist of?
Thanks! Again I apologize for the somewhat silly question.
