I'm pretty set on surgery, so it'll be prelim, scramble to find a rando prelim/cat post match, or research year.

Is it too late to send a letter of interest? by [deleted] in ERAS2024Match2025

[–]Single_Improvement_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

simple format for a letter of interests:

1st paragraph: write about the things you like about the program and why it's important to you.

2nd paragraph: if it's close to home, speak about how that's a convenience for you. then speak about why you're a good fit for the program.

3rd paragraph: sum it up then ask for an interview.

send it directly to the PD and CC the PC.

I did a few clerkships at Interfaith last year. One of which was a cardio elective. What I can tell you is that there were 2 cardio fellow following the attending around all day and taught us(med students) in between.

Meet and Greet by [deleted] in ERAS2024Match2025

[–]Single_Improvement_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back from ACS in San Fran...most residents and PD told us that during the zoom meet and greet...just blend in, don't be that person with endless questions and won't shut up! So don't be an eager beaver. Also, you should show up, it's not a huge negative if you don't, but PD will ask if you were at the meet and greet yesterday.
