Dear All,
Hope all is well!
I am a current M4 who likely be applying to an internal medicine residency in this upcoming ERAS cycle (2020-2021) and am hoping to attend a Top 10 residency program. I am still considering radiology or urology but am likely leaning toward IM. My situation is untraditional in that I will be graduating off cycle in December 2020 due to a medical leave of absence during my 3rd year of medical school. I know that as a December graduate, I will still be considered a US senior, but I am wondering how programs will view me being off-cycle and finishing in December?
Also, is there anything that I can do during the free time that I have from Dec-June 2021 that could help bolster me as a candidate? I was considering doing research but was also looking for other options to help keep my clinical skills uptodate and ready for residency. Any input or suggestions would be appreciated!
Stats:
AOA, GHS, Step 1 250+, Step 2CK 260+, 5 publications (1 first author, rest middle author)
Thank you for all your help! I really appreciate it!
