Each year, more than 15,000 U.S. medical students—along with more than 18,000 graduates of foreign medical schools and schools of osteopathic medicine—take part in the National Residency Matching Program, vying for a small number of positions in the United States. In this keenly competitive environment, they seek every advantage they can get. Based on more than two decades of experience preparing candidates for residency programs, John Canady has developed a concise practical guide to making one’s way through the maze of residency applications and interviews. Guiding residency applicants past the pitfalls in all aspects of the process, 101 Tips to Getting the Residency You Want includes sections on tried-and-true methods for senior year planning, the importance of networking, tips for interviewing, practical advice for carefree travel, and guidelines for follow-up to out-of-town rotations and interviews. This guide covers the do’s and don’ts that will maximize each applicant’s chances and exposes the common blunders that can ruin an application in spite of the best grades and test scores.

In late March, a life-changing day occurs for students at medical schools across the United States. On Match Day, students learn where they will be pursuing their residency training. For some it is a time to rejoice. For others, however, there is bitter disappointment when the match does not turn out as expected. Every year there are medical students who do not match at any residency program. There are many others who do match but are disappointed to learn that they did not match at one of their top programs. These outcomes often leave students wondering what went wrong along the way. During every step of the residency application process, mistakes can be made that prevent you from matching with the residency program of your choice. Although these errors have been well known to those involved in the resident selection process, they are not well recognized by students applying for residency. Now, for the first time, Dr. Samir Desai identifies the 101 all-too-common mistakes students make during the residency application process. He also shows you how to avoid them so you don't fall into the same traps. Here are some of the mistakes you'll learn to avoid: Mistakes made: On the CV. On the personal statement. When interviewing. When ranking residency programs. And much more. Take charge of the residency application process, instead of letting it take charge of you. Book jacket.
