Recently matched MS 4 here..

Just trying to figure out when I am expected to have residency orientation.

I assume all residency starts on July 1st?

orientation at most programs is usually 1-2 weeks prior to start date so mid June. If military residency, can be almost a month

Assume that your life belongs to your new program June 1 and be happy for every day you get to yourself between then and July 1.

Mid-June is pretty typical.

Could be as early as June ~8 or as late as July 1. June 15 or 22 (for a 1 or 2 week orientation) is most common. I haven't heard of an orientation longer than 3 weeks.

If the crisis gets worse it's a possibility things could be pushed even earlier this year.

That is the truth

Would this be more for medicine residents? I matched into a surgical sub and I don't see myself being that useful.

Nobody knows. Be prepared for absolutely anything at this point.

At the moment you and the future medicine intern are equally useful. They could put either of you on the medicine wards 😛

We will see come July though. This may be all under control by then. Or not.

As an intern , you are the same moldable piece of flesh...and it’s not like you are in the OR that much as an intern anyway...usually doing pre/post op floor rounding.

Few posts ago, I said the meds students will definitely start earlier... and looks like we are following UK and Italy!
