Hi current residents/attendings/fellows,
I am a fourth year who applied anesthesia.
This residency cycle was unlike no other with virtual interviews. As a result, candidates did not have the opportunity to travel to said institutions, see the surrounding area, and meet residents and faculty in-person. Resident pre-interview dinners were not the same experience.
As a result, I was hoping for any advice you may in regards to ranking programs. I know that determining one’s rank list is unique to one’s individual preferences, values and goals but I would love to hear about what your approach was and any advice you may have to me and other candidates struggling this year.
I understand that gut instinct, location, prestige and a presence of a support system are all important factors. However, with the virtual aspect of this year, it’s been incredibly difficult to rely on gut for rank purposes when our interactions with programs are so limited. It's also easy to hide behind a screen.
Thanks again.
