Help on Elective Guidance for Match

[ZGX]

Members do not see this ad.

Is there a website other than Wikipedia that will explain what electives are required for specific specialty matches?
So far all I've learned is for Internal Medicine, some electives are Infectious Disease, Geriatrics, cardiology, etc

But what about getting matched into Pathology? What electives should I be taking to strengthen my application other than Pathology?


Much appreciated for any help.

Talk to people at your school applying this year. Also, talk to the path PD at your school.

I can't imagine there being anything super specific for path; however, I do know that my school has an elective at the medical examiners office which would be pretty high yield for path. I'll bet most people will just say to take stuff that interests you, and/or take electives that you won't really have the opportunity to once you finish med school.

there aren't any required electives for any specialty.
