Residency application - individual personal statement for every program

[stefan95]

Hi everyone,

I am an IMG applying to IM residency for the upcoming season. I was just wondering: Will you need an individual personal statement for every program that you apply to? Or is it common to just use the same personal statment for all your applications within one specialty, considering that many applicants apply to >100 programs?

Many thanks in advance.
Stefan

Just use the same PS for every program. Unless there is one in particular you really want to match to then you could potentially personalize that one slightly but def not necessary

I personalized mine for my top few. Overall, just use the same one for all places though.
