• Record number of US seniors remain un-matched after the SOAP process• 528 US seniors without a job!


t

My Goal

•To get you matched!

• I need your help now to do this…..


t

What is your likelihood of Matching?• Very little to do with how good of a student you are

• Has everything to do with your preparation and backup plans

• Very specialty and student specific

• NRMP CHARTING OUTCOMES DATA

t

Careers in Medicine


t

Specialty Specific Information

• NRMP “Charting Outcomes”• NRMP “Program Director Survey”• AAMC.org/CIM

• You need to know what your likelihood is for matching into the specialties you are consiering


t

What is your likelihood of Matching?• Very little to do with how good of a student you are

• Has everything to do with your preparation and backup plans• Number of applications• Which programs to apply to• Dual applications• Improving LOR• Step 2• Rotations


t

SOAP

• Replaced the Scramble in 2012• 8 rounds of a electronic Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program

• Lots of sitting and waiting for the phone to ring

• Miserable and not very helpful


t

Eight Utah SOAP Students (2012-13)

• Mix of specialties• Some had obvious difficulties

• Step 1 failure, clerkship failure, etc

• Some were strong applicants• Average Step 1 score 234• Too few applications• Interview issues?


t

Where Our Students End-up?• 1 Orthopedic surgery candidate SOAP’d into Surgery-

preliminary position• 1 Radiology candidate SOAP’d into Anesthesia position• 1 Radiation Oncology candidate SOAP’d into Surgery-

Preliminary position• 1 Diagnostic Radiology found a position in May outside

of the SOAP• 2 Emergency Medicine Candidates found prelim

Medicine position in May outside of SOAP• 1 still looking for Family Medicine position• 1 still looking for Med/Peds position


t

Summary

• You want to be Matched!• SOAP is miserable and is not a backup plan• Not finding any position is extremely miserable• Determining your specialty now helps immensely• Use NRMP data now to determine your likelihood of matching

• Start thinking about backup plans now if you need them


t

What do you need to do in the next 6 months?

• Identify a specialty, Track and a Mentor (Carol)• Complete the 4th year lottery process (Carol)• Determine your Step 2 times• Review your LOR options• Ace your clerkships• Be ready for 4th year Orientation Meeting in June


Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)

http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/


http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/

t

ERAS

• Technically optional but almost everyone uses it• All NRMP match uses ERAS• Military match uses ERAS• Urology match uses ERAS and AUA• San Francisco match uses CAS

• Very separate from NRMP and NBME


t

ERAS

• Students responsibility:• Letters of Recommendation (shared)• NBME scores (shared)• Personal Statement(s)• CV• Photograph• Program List

• We will talk about each one of these in the Longitudinal Course


t

ERAS

• Tokens• Released end of June• Allow students to access and input information• Residency programs have access to their side only at

this point


t

ERAS

• Residency Programs• Use ERAS to access all of the information from you, SOM, and NBME

• First time available to them is Sept 15th


t

Letters of Recommendation

• Four slots in ERAS for LOR• Few student will meet four letter writers in the next eight

months• You need to start finding them now• Rholinda will discuss in June the detailed process for

getting LOR into ERAS


t


• Qualities of a good letter writer:• Attending (not resident or chief resident)• Clinical exposure is my primary consideration• I do not care about rank or national status (some specialties might)• Research letters are the main exception to the clinical focus• Someone that can attest to your professional identity (i.e. “brand”)


t


• How to ask?• Set up a meeting• Bring your CV• Be prepared to answer “What should I focus on in the

letter?”• Provide a deadline• For now, have them keep the letter


t

NBME

• Deadlines• Schedule exam by June 15th (recommended)• Take CK by October 31st (required)• Take CS by December 31st (required)

• Disability and accommodation request must go through main campus CDS

• SINGLE PRACTICE CK EXAM PROVIDED BY THE SOM


t

Step 2 timing• More program directors are using Step 2 for initial

interview decisions


t

Word of Caution…

“Our evaluation of applicants includes the USMLE Step 2 CK score. I would be happy to further evaluate this applicant once I have that score.”

Program Director, 2012 Match


t

Step 2 timing• More program directors are using Step 2 for initial

interview decisions

• Clear decline in scores the further away from Clerkships

• Institutional requirement to take exam by Oct 31st

t

Step 2 timing• In general, it is nearly always better to have a CK score

posted by September 15th.• In order to post by Sept 15th, you probably need to take

the exam by ~July 29th

• CS not typically used for granting interviews (unless you fail it or have significant problems with clinical evaluations)


t

Longitudinal Course - Mentoring• ERAS• Step 2• Personal Statements• Letters of Recommendation• NRMP data• Making a program list• Interviews• Making a rank list

t

MSPE National History

• Wide variation historically• Guidelines published by AAMC in 2002

• “Letter of evaluation” rather than letter of recommendation

• Standardized format

• Release deadline moved from Nov 1st to Oct 1st

t

Local history

• Excellent adherence to AAMC guidelines• Input fields from all other areas of Dean’s Office (OIO, PEL, Med ED, etc.)

• Compilations• 8-10 pages in length

t

My Vision

• Accurately portray the true consistent performance of our students

• Provide useful information to the end user (program directors)

• Maintain institutional integrity• Foster student desire to excel rather than compete

t

First PageIDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Chelsea Smith is a fourth-year student at the University of Utah School of Medicine applying to your program for residency training. This letter is meant to provide an overview of Chelsea’s academic performance and personal characteristics to assist you in your assessment of her application.

Chelsea came to the University Of Utah School Of Medicine in 2011 after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from University of Notre Dame, and her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Utah.

t

First PageUNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Chelsea is a resourceful innovator, looking for opportunities in learning and service. As a first year student, she noticed that there were plenty of opportunities addressing global health for medical students, but none addressing the unique needs of Utah's own population. Over the course of the year she developed contacts within the Utah Navajo Health Service. In doing so, she created an alternative spring break program for students interested in volunteering for under-served populations just hours from Salt Lake City in Montezuma Creek and Monument Valley.

Chelsea has held positions of leadership. She served as the president of the Pediatric Medicine Interest Group. Chelsea is also very excited to be the principal investigator for her research project, a quality improvement study to help identify possible socio-demographic factors contributing to poorly controlled asthma in the pediatric population. She expects to publish her abstract and to present her research findings later this year.

t

Unique Characteristics

• The Unique Characteristics is the first page of your MSPE (8-10 pages total)

• You will write a Personal Statement for your ERAS application, this is a different document.

• I will finalize and edit this statement using material that you create.

• Remember, this is written from my perspective

Details on LCE and SCE are provided in the Appendix.

Chelsea’s LCE faculty attending physician noted the following:

“Very professional and interested in outpatient medicine.”

t

ACADEMIC PROGRESS: PRE-CLERKSHIP YEARS (Phases I and II)• Scholarly Expectation: Medical students are required to

participate in an independent program of study that promotes students’ expertise in one or more areas of medicine, their ability to perform inquiry-based research, to ask scholarly questions and to effectively communicate the rationale for and results of their scholarly work. • Chelsea reviewed patient charts and culled data from an

Intermountain Healthcare database of infectious diseases affecting Utah communities. She used these data to examine the relationship between community viral infections and childhood leukemia. Chelsea presented her work at the 2010 annual Frank Tyler Medical Student Research Symposium in Park City, UT.

t

ACADEMIC PROGRESS: PRE-CLERKSHIP YEARS (Phases I and II)Community Service Learning Experience: All students are required to participate in community service learning projects in the first two years of the curriculum.
