In the YouTube video "SHARING OUR ENTIRE RESIDENCY APPLICATION + WHERE WE APPLIED TO," two residents share their experience and provide advice for others. They discuss the ERAS application process, stress the importance of being honest and filling out every section, and suggest presenting a coherent "brand" in your application. They also share their strategy for deciding where to apply, with one choosing big cities and programs with a focus on family planning, underserved populations, and diversity, while the other applied to programs due to the competitiveness of OB. They advise aiming for a certain number of interviews and emphasize transparency by sharing their entire application process.
In this section, the hosts talk about the ERAS application process and how it is less detailed and more straightforward than the medical school application process. They discuss the various sections of the application that include research projects, publications, volunteer and leadership experience, and hobbies. They advise viewers to keep their CV up to date, as it will make the application process easier. They also mention that they shared their Planned Parenthood experience on their application, even though they were worried it might discourage conservative programs from interviewing them.
In this section of the video, the speakers discuss their approach to filling out the various sections of their residency applications. They stress the importance of being honest about their hobbies and interests, as these can come up in interviews. They also talk about the importance of filling out every section, even if research isn't a big deal for your intended specialty, as leaving sections blank can look bad. They emphasize the need to present a coherent "brand" in your application that showcases who you are as a person and what you have to offer a program. Finally, they discuss their strategy for deciding where to apply, with one speaker being intentional about choosing big cities and avoiding rural areas.
In this section, the two residents discuss their approach to applying to residency programs. One resident applied to 66 programs while the other applied to 30. Both applied broadly, with one applying to big cities and programs with a focus on family planning, underserved populations, and diversity, while the other received recommendations to apply to 40 programs due to the competitiveness of OB, but ultimately applied to 60. They provide advice on how many interviews to aim for based on a rate of return sheet and share that they both went on more interviews than they needed and canceled some to ensure they did not take away someone else's chance to match. They both matched with programs where they believe they will be extremely happy.
In this section, the hosts talk about the process of applying for residencies and how they didn't know certain things until they were in the midst of interview season. They mention the importance of knowing which schools are strong and what aspects of the school to look for. They also emphasize transparency by sharing their entire application process, hoping to make it easier for their viewers to understand what they have to offer. They advise not to compare oneself to others, but to use their experience as inspiration and guidance.
