San Diego? Late April? Meet some program directors and talk to current residents? What's not to like about that if you are a medical student who is interested in our field? You should definitely go. If you do go, make sure you talk to everyone and get names and contact information, and follow-up with e-mails about how much you learned from them. Aside from having a strong application, relationships are key in matching.
