In the 2021-2022 residency application cycle, applicants applying to internal medicine, general surgery, and dermatology will be able to signal programs of their significant interest through the ERAS supplemental application. In this episode, join Dr. Samir Desai as he discusses preference signaling, why it's in your best interests to participate in it, and some factors to consider as you decide which programs to signal. 

This is Part 2 of our series on the supplemental ERAS application which was introduced in 2021 for residency applicants applying to internal medicine (preliminary and categorical), general surgery (categorical), and dermatology. In Part 1, we talked about how to complete the past experiences section of this application. In this episode, our focus is on the geographic information section. Join Dr. Samir Desai as he discusses the role geography plays in the residency selection process and its importance. With a stronger understanding of why programs consider geography, you will be in a better position to approach this section of the supplemental application.

In 2021, the supplemental ERAS application was added as a new component of the residency application for applicants applying to internal medicine (preliminary and categorical), general surgery (categorical), and dermatology residency programs.

You will also learn how to complete the past experiences section of the application so that the information programs seek is conveyed through your answers. In forthcoming episodes, we will address two other components of the supplemental application - geographic information and preference signaling.

We know that participation in research, especially work that leads to publication or presentation, can strengthen the residency application. However, a major challenge is finding such opportunities. In this episode, join Drs. Samir Desai and Rajani Katta as they break down the process of finding research projects and mentors. Among the questions they will answer: How important is research? How can you go beyond participation to get published or presented? Can you be published without participating in formal research? 

Over 5,200 U.S. citizen IMGs participated in the 2021 NRMP Match. These students had to answer some difficult questions before they started medical school.

You’ll be left with some powerful lessons that will help guide you in your own journey to a successful match. 

Medical schools and residency programs have shifted to virtual interviews in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While virtual interviews offer a safe alternative to in-person interviews, they do present applicants with unique challenges. In this episode, Drs. Rajani Katta and Samir Desai share their perspectives on common mistakes applicants make when doing virtual interviews. You will learn about the technological issues that can prevent even the most prepared applicants from making a strong impression. Become "technologically ready" to deliver a powerful performance that brings you closer to your goal: your place in medical school or residency.

After all those hours spent in class and studying for the MCAT, not to mention poring over your application and personal statement to make sure it's just right, you've received the words you've been waiting to hear. "We would like to invite you for an interview..."     The final hurdle in the medical school admissions process is the interview. But how important is it really? A review of discussion forums reveals very different views. Some students believe that the interview is merely a formality and that the decision has already been made. Others maintain that you must take it as seriously as your GPA and MCAT.   Join Dr. Rajani Katta and Dr. Samir Desai as they discuss the medical school interview in great depth and give you an insiders' perspective of its importance and role in the admissions process. 

Although residency applicants may submit the same personal statement to all programs, ERAS allows applicants to create program-specific personal statements.

The Medical Student Performance Evaluation or MSPE, previously known as the Dean's Letter, is an important part of the residency application. In a recent survey of over 1,200 program directors representing 24 specialties, over 80% of programs cited the MSPE as a factor used to make interview decisions. To put this in context, only two other criteria - the USMLE Step 1 score and letters of recommendation - were used more often than the MSPE to decide whom to interview.   Join Drs. Rajani Katta and Samir Desai as they discuss the MSPE in more depth. You'll learn when this important document is developed, how it's written, and the type of content that is included. You'll also learn how you can take an active role in shaping your own MSPE so that the final document produced serves you well in the residency selection process.    www.thesuccessfulmatch.com
