Getting Into Residency: An Insider's Tips

For those of you interested in my upcoming "Getting Into Residency" lecture who have written me saying you can't attend the AMSA national conference, I am currently working on an affordable CD-ROM with a version of the lecture, including video, audio, printable slides and a transcript.

I'll keep you posted as the project comes to fruition. Thanks for everyone's interest.

About Me

Years of candidate selection at Harvard taught me what characteristics comprise a desirable applicant and how even bright candidates make mistakes that undermine their admissions success. I am a practicing Emergency Physician with nine years of experience training medical students, residents and fellows. I won three teaching and mentorship awards while at Harvard. Please see Insider Medical Admissions for the full array of personalized services I offer to clients applying to medical school, residency, fellowship and post baccalaureate programs.
