Is there Nepotism in Residency Selection? | A Program's Perspective

#shorts

👉 Resident Selection - A Program's Perspective

🎯 Key Takeaways:
There are about 100 applicants per residency opening.
There are about 10 interviews per residency opening.
If you got an interview then there is a 90% chance that you will get ranked.
The ranking depends less on objective assessment (scores, MSPE, etc.) but rather on the personal statement and the interview day performance.

🤦‍♀️ Obvious, but important:
Show interest in Specialty
Show interest in Program (research it)

💻 Other Tips
Make sure you carry yourself professionally not just for the interview but for the whole interview day
Virtual Interviews are harder; find good light, internet connection & do not interrupt (if you do, then apologize; it's hard on zoom)
Avoid silly spelling mistakes on personal statement

I knew one old grad indian girl attempts on USMLE, on J1 visa made it to Central Michigan University, another one was from Venezuela and her brother was assosciate PD in Mount Sinai Miami beach, she had attempts, old grad 2010, green card holder. Another one Iranian girl dated an attending and got there in upstate NY program and a Nigerian IMG US citizen old grad low scores and got ranked by his fellow Nigerian who was chief resident in Capital Health in NJ and list goes on.
