Hello everyone!
I am an MSIII who will be applying for Psychiatry! I have a few factors that I consider especially important for considering residencies. I would greatly appreciate your time and feedback in finding out which residency programs would fit!
My Step I score about average... I have generally superb comments in my narratives, am looking to hopefully publish a case report, and average grades (do not think I will have honored any rotations). I will be looking at research opportunities for my fourth year. I live a relatively well-balanced life, hence the lack of honors. Thus I'm looking for well-balanced programs and not specifically 'prestige.'
1) Psychotherapy - This is clear by SDN searches... however it is the combo of this factor with #2 that I find very important.
2) I am striving to live a healthy and environmentally sustainable life. I want to go to a residency program where I can commute car-free (by bike, or public transport - ideally subways/rails!).
3) I would eventually like to have some free time to pursue my interests... not only the fun stuff, but pursuing knowledge and experiences in public (and mental?) health and legislation regarding mental health and medicine. I want to eventually get involved in public health, mental health, and medical politics.
May I have some recommendations of residency programs that may be a good fit for me, or some guidance to finding such?
I sincerely appreciate everyone's time and consideration!
