Checklist – Year 3

Last week we reviewed a checklist for 4th year medical students.  Now let’s take a look at what you have to do the year before.  The AMA recommends:

• Find residency programs that fit your specialty interests and needs.
• Organize the key elements of your application.
• Contact the National Board of Medical Examiners to schedule your United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 2 exams.
• Familiarize yourself with the Association of American Medical Colleges’ Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
• Build your clinical and research skills.
