Book excerpt: What does it take to match into the specialty of your choice? This question is hotly debated and surveys of applicants and program directors find sharp divisions on the topic. In a recent survey, the authors concluded that "there are significant differences between program directors' and medical students' perceptions of which factors are important in the residency selection process" (Brandenburg 2005). In advising students over the years, we have come to realize that misperceptions abound, with applicants frequently overestimating or underestimating certain residency selection criteria. These misperceptions may result in a failure to match. From our own experiences as students, and in the process of counseling applicants, we know how difficult, anxiety-provoking, and mysterious the residency selection process is. In this book, we answer the question of what it takes to match successfully. We provide specific evidence-based advice to maximize your chances of a successful match. Who actually chooses the residents? We review the data on the decision makers. What do these decision makers care about? We review the data on the criteria that matter to them. How can you convince them that you would be the right resident for their program? We provide concrete, practical recommendations based on this data. At every step of the process, our recommendations are meant to maximize the impact of your application. Utilizing a unique combination of evidence-based advice and an insiders' perspective, this book will help you achieve your ultimate goal: The Successful Match.

Book excerpt: Each year on the third Thursday in March, more than fifteen thousand graduating medical students exult, despair, and endure Match Day: the result of a computer algorithm that assigns students to their hospital residencies in almost every field of medicine. The match determines the crucial first job as an intern, and ultimately shapes the rest of his—or, in increasing numbers, her—life. Match Day follows three women from the anxious months of preparation before the match through the completion of their first full year of internship. Each has long dreamed of becoming a doctor. Stephanie Chao is beginning her career as a surgeon. Rakhi Barkowski must balance her husband's aspirations with her own desire to work in internal medicine. Michelle LaFonda moves forward in her quest to become a radiologist, but struggles to find progress in her personal relationship. Each woman makes mistakes, saves lives, and witnesses death; each must recognize the balancing act of family and career; and each comes to learn what it means to heal, to comfort, to lose, and to grieve, all while maintaining a professional demeanor. Just as One L became the essential book about the education of young attorneys, so Match Day will be for every medical student, doctor, and reader interested in medicine: a guide to what to expect, an insightful account of the changing world of doctors, and a dramatic recollection of this pressured, perilous, challenging, and rewarding time of life.

Book excerpt: After years of medical training, series of United States Medical Licensing Examination, time away from your family and friends, you have entered a critical juncture of your career transition. Sure, how you performed in your medical school, how your scores are, and how well rounded and confident you are in your communication and interpersonal skills will determine whether you can get into the residency of your choice. Nevertheless, with a dramatic increase in the volume of applicants and widening gap between the applicants and matched candidates year by year, it is becoming increasingly important that your application should be extremely well prepared. A great residency application package includes a carefully written and goal-directed personal statement; strong and highly supportive letters of recommendation; and a clean, coherent, and consistent common application form. Once you are invited for the interview, it is equally important to understand what it means to be interviewed by the programs and what valuable information your potential residency programs are trying to extract from you. It is not all about how you dress, how you talk, and how you have scored in your USMLE. They are looking for a reliable trainee, a passionate teacher, and a dependable colleague. Your search for residency is not over even after you have completed your interviews. It is important that you appreciate what they have done for you thus far, and also, any further communication with the program directors (PDs) should not go shoddy. Residency Interview and Match: Real-Life Examples Tailored to Your Success is a succinct but complete guide to help you chart through this process. The main purpose of this book is to provide you ample examples, complete with explanations, so that you actually understand what should be done and why it is done this way. Each of these examples are matched to your real-life stories so that you will quickly figure out which cohort you belong to and what it means to you to prepare for this application. Finally, what you do as a medical student transitioning to become a physician makes me very proud. I have spoken to several of you in the classroom, in the wards, in the cafeteria, and occasionally in the pubs. The journey you have ventured earns great respect and does not deserve a tearful approach to prepare for your residency application. I hope this book will help you shape your application in a different and distinct way. Enjoy reading this book, and I wish you success in getting into the residency of your choice.
