As pre-meds, we all (well...most of us) did an extraordinary amount of extra-curricular activities (volunteering at the hospital, leadership positions, community service...kissing babies, etc.) to make our CV that much more impressive so that we could be admitted to medical school.
Question 1: Well, does the same hold true for residency? For those of you who have been throught the interview process, or who can speak intelligently on the matter, how much do extra-curricular activites matter to residency directors and/or getting a good residency? Is it just fodder for conversation in the interview, or does it really matter?
Question 2: What are some good extra-curricular activities do get involved in as a medidcal student?
Thanks for your time
