In this epsiode,  Dr. Myers Hurt shares a writing tip for using repeat word modifiers in sentence structures to make writing more impactful, using personal statements as examples. This technique involves repeating a key word in a sentence to emphasize its importance and create a sense of anticipation for the reader. The host attributes the concept to a book by Michael Deegan and offers two examples to illustrate the power of the repeat word modifier. For more personal statement tips, visit www.drmyershurt.com  

Hey there, it's Dr. Myers Hurt. In this episode, I want to discuss writing prompts and how to approach them. Specifically, I'll be using chat GPT to generate answers to some prompts and we'll discuss what we like and don't like about them. I'll also share my thoughts on the importance of writing about yourself and not relying on AI or paying someone else to do it. We'll go through a couple of prompts together, including one from Kaiser Permanente on diversity and inclusion. I'll provide some tips on how to approach these prompts and how to show, not tell, in your answers. So, let's dive in and get writing!  If you are in the middle of writing a personal statement, I highly suggest donwloading my free personal statement guide jam packed full of amazing tips for writing personal statements.

Hey everybody this is Myers Hurt with another edition of “Countdown to Match Day,” the official podcast of the Match Gurus, and the only podcast aimed at helping applicants shine on interview day. Remember to follow us on twitter @theMatchGurus and send any questions you want answered on the show. If you like the content please take some time to leave a review on iTunes, or review the book on Amazon. In true countdown style, this season we’ll release one podcast each week for the 40 weeks leading up to Match Day.  This is season 1 episode 9 - now 32 weeks to go until #MatchDay2017. Let’s get started: What to expect - usually the resident dinner is a collection of applicants and residents, set up as an informal environment to get some questions answered from the resident point of view. There is no set question time / eating time, it just flows naturally. Who will be there: residents and their significant others - specifically to answer the most amount of questions for the most amount of people. Consider the scheduling from the other side. Residents already feel overworked and underpaid - even with free food as an incentive - it says a lot to volunteer time to go out after a 12-16 hr day only to talk about how much you love that 12 or 16 hour day. Consider the timeline as well - as chief I could always get people fighting over the first few free steaks, then late in the season it could be pulling teeth. Who to bring: spouses are ok, children, parents, friends - even girlfriends/boyfriends are not. No need to bring anything to take notes, anything to try and impress people - just an opportunity to be yourself. What to wear: not a suit, not jeans and a t-shirt - something in between - a business lunch or business dinner. Collared shirt with or without blazer, good rule of thumb is it is always easier to dress down instead of dressing up. What to order: If you have any preferences as far as vegetarianism, vegan, kosher, food allergies, etc - feel free to mention to the program coordinator - feel free to communicate without being judged. Alcohol - borderline issue - never be the first to order alcohol, tea, water, soda are safe bets - if the most senior person at the table orders a beer or some wine, feel like the ice is broken, and go for it. Always ok to abstain without fear of being judged, just don’t order bottle service, not Jersey Shore. Remember that you are always being interviewed. I understand both arguments - in a stressful environment, one glass of wine takes the edge off, however, if alcohol makes you anything less than your best self, best to abstain. Nothing new - allergies, don’t like the taste.  Nothing sloppy or saucy - think first date - want to enjoy a civilized meal in a nice setting, no need to wear most of your dinner, or embarrass yourself. What questions to ask: “front line” questions - parking, housing, child care, - things that are important to you.  As well as how they feel - do they get along with faculty, do they get along with each other, do they feel like they are learning, good balance of learning and autonomy to learn by doing Pearls: remember the resident’s names - it always comes up the next day - who did you go out with? Multiple people ask, and simply by remembering the names of your future colleagues shows an incredible amount of interest. Forgetting people or forgetting what you talked about is a red flag. You are being watched - how you interact with the waitstaff, hostess, etc all reflects on how you will work in a team. In the hospital, you have nurses, students, PT, OT, maintenance, dietary, mid levels, attendings, etc - I’m Texan, so yes ma’am, no ma’am and holding doors open for people is second nature, but anyone rude to the waiter or waitress is absolutely going to hear about it. Would always be suspect of a candidate who was rude Thank you to everyone for listening, remember to send you questions to us through our website at www.thematchgurus.com, twitter @theMatchGurus, or snapchat.  Our book is now available on Amazon - please leave a review there as well.

In true countdown style, this season we’ll release one podcast each week for the 40 weeks leading up to Match Day 2017.  This is season 1 episode 2 - 39 weeks to go until Match Day 2017. Let’s jump into today’s topics of discussion. Why focus on the interview? Where and when the interview comes into play. Anecdotally, umbers get your foot in the door, interview gets you a job. To prove that, this is the Program Director Survey. This is 2014 data, but is the most recent they have available, and I’m hoping for a new document soon. If you read the introduction the response rate is just over 50% from program directors, but I would say it is still a good resource. The full doc is 148 pages, and divided into speciality-specific data sets, we can dissect those later in the season, but now I would invite you to look at Figure 1 on page 3 and Figure 2 on page 4. Figure 1: Percentage of programs citing each factor in selecting applicants to interview. THIS is why USMLE step 1 is so important. The USMLE is primarilty a test for state medical licencing borads (NBME / FSMB), desigend to see if students pass or fail, not necessarily a ranking system to see which students are best - residency programs adopted it as an objective comparrison tool. DoctorsInTraining, Kaplan, Pass Program, MedQuest, USMLEWorld, Pathoma, SketchyMedical - the list goes on  - these are such successful entities for this reason. FIgure 2: Percentage of progarms citing each factor in ranking applicants. I'm guilty of speaking in hyperbole - but this is any area I think deserves it. No exageration, these are the two figures that I think are life changing - they show how students with 99%ile scores don’t match, and how mediocre IMGs can get their first choice.  They answer almost every question on the ValueMD and SDN message boards.  Is Step 3 important? Look at the chart. Should I do an away rotation? Look at the chart. How important are letters of recommendation? Look at the chart. If you look through the entire document at the speciality you are applying to, you will be able to tease out nuances that your speciality values, and wht program directors in that speciality have explicitly stated they are interested in. AAFP Strolling through the MATCH The 2016 AAFP booklet. Admittedly, as a family practice doc I am mostly exposed to AAFP materials, but this is a document that serves all medical students, not just thoise interested in primary care. My previous institution has a family medicine interest group that hosts an annual event that highlights this document. General residency application timeline and checklist, listing the Table of Contents:   Section 1 - Choosing a Specialty Section 2 - IMG resources Section 3 - Preparing your Credentials - CV, personal statement tips, LoR tips Section 4 - Selecting a Program Section 5 - The interview Process - etiquette, question types, etc Section 6 - The Match: What is it and How it Works Section 7 - The SOAP - Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program Section 8 - Resources As you can see, a fairly robust document that is beneficial to all applicants, and a good place to look for up to date answers.

Let’s jump into today’s topics of discussion. The Alphabet Soup of Residency Applications: ERAS - Electronic Residency Application Service - this is your application portal, and a service provided by the AAMC. You will be issued a token to register. Here is a good example of a YouTube tutorial for how to do that. For timeline, deadlines, and other reminders, follow ERAS on twitter @ERASinfo NRMP - National Resident Matching Program - this is a third party organization that conducts the actual matching process. The R3 system - register, rank, results. Here is their calendar. Here is their checklist. Follow them on twitter @TheNRMP FREIDA - Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database - list of all fellowship and residency programs published by the AMA, number of available spots, contact information, and other ECFMG - Educational Commission of Foreign Medical Graduates - for international and foreign medical students applying to the US NRMP Match - you will go through them to get your token and upload documents. OASIS - Online Applicant Status and Information System AAFP Strolling through the Match 2016 PDF Who’s Who in the residency application process? Chairperson: Head of an entire department - oversees medical student education, residency education, research, patient care, surgical simulation, finance, hiring and firing, and all other department-wide logistics. Program Director: Head of the residency education slice of a department. This is who will be overseeing residency interviews, applications, and submitting the final rank list. Program Coordinator: Administrative assistant to the residency department. Deals with new applicant communication, interview scheduling, current resident licensing, and even logistics for residency alumni. Question of the Day: Can you elaborate on the specific systems that residency programs use to evaluate residents? Dr. Michael Olson’s: The academic aspect of evaluation will never go away, but more departments are interested in a holistic approach. Make sure your Step scores are competitive, be open, honest, and clear about gaps in education. Other evaluation method is social - from first email to relaxed moments with residents, to how you interact with the other applicants.   Dr. Myers Hurt’s answer: Agree with the social and “EQ” components of evaluation. There is no standardized evaluation form, but there is often a form that your interviewers will complete with Likert scale (1-5) of certain qualities to help “objectify” subjective data, along with a “comment” section.
