Hey how's everyone doing today? So i'm a year 1 in the 6 year medical program at UMKC. I know, i still have 5 more years left till i have to worry about residency, but i am a very competitive person and would like to match with the best residency.
As of now, i'm looking into surgery and emergency medicine. I want to know what things i should be doing in school (grades and EX wise). Right now, my GPA is a 3.64 (trying to bring that up to a 3.75 this semester), i'm in a service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega (APO) and i'm trying to get a research opportunity with some doctors. if that doesnt work, i will get a job on campus.
I know the USMLE scores are big, but what other things should I be doing right now? thanks in advance for the help!
