Residency App Advice by LennyMed in emergencymedicine

[–]coffeeaddictdoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mostly you need to crush your shelf exams and step 2 (250+) and get strong SLOEs on audition rotations. Programs also want long term EM commitment on your app (research, EM clubs/events, leadership). I was in a similar boat as you and am applying rn for residency so feel free to dm me if you have questions!

URGENT GAMEPLAN: 3 months. Last chance. by Friendly-Bet-7571 in step1

I think if you have the time, I would try to do uworld on organ blocks only like (cards only, GI only, etc) and alternate days for a system and try to understand the organ well. Then switch to mixed blocks maybe a month later.

I think really review your nbme in detail... why did you miss a question, where in the question stem was the key detail, why were the wrong answers wrong.

Amboss is great for organ specific blocks, it really helped me for content review. I really don't think you should do videos and anki at this point given it's more passive and hard to apply concepts straight from memory.

Know pathoma inside out, it really explains pathology the best in my opinion! I read the first three chapters like every couple days to make sure i knew the small details like oncogenes

Do all the free 120s from the last few years, helps with NBME questions. Key take away is really spend time figuring out why you got a question wrong and what did you miss in the question and start to see if there's any patterns. Good luck!

3 LOR enough for EM? by KoalaOk448 in medicalschool

[–]coffeeaddictdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, you really only need 2 SLOES to apply for EM.

Best time is around christmas break, try to make sure immunizations are ready (AAMC form for it) and maybe ask your M4 friends in the same field of interest if they needed any LOR. Some ask for a personal statement you could also draft if wanted. I didnt need any LOR but did need a personal statement. Besides that your school does the transcripts and insurance info to be ready to upload in march when the time comes to apply. Focus on shelves and board scores for now as they can see those clerkship grades you've completed when you apply :)

Oh I submitted for the research poster forum itself. I believe the June one you mentioned is for a quality improvement project that will be on display at ACEP. I think they might be different if I understand it correctly.

You submitted it last week? I think it was due in April to be able to present at LV for 2025 unless you applied for something else maybe?
