How To Be an All-Star Residency Match Applicant: From the First Year of Medical School to Match Day. A MedEdits Guide.

You were able to get into medical school so you think it will be the same process all over again when you apply for residency. But every application process has nuances, and the criteria for selection and how you will be evaluated during the residency admissions process is distinctly different from the medical school process. In general, the residency admissions process is much more focused. To get into residency, having experiences in a bunch of different “categories” is not essential. This doesn’t mean, however, that all you should do throughout medical school is study to be competitive, but you don’t need as many activities and it is unlikely you will have the time to pursue them!
