Busy Week

Wow! This past week has been crazy busy. Here we go:

1) Congratulations to all of my residency applicant advisees: I am thrilled by the enormous success the Match brought to these candidates in a variety of fields. (For fun, here is a play list of Match Day videos from medical schools around the country.)

2) The AMSA national conference was a great, great success. “Interview Like a Ninja” sessions were really robust, and we had a full auditorium at my lecture. Thanks to a very engaged audience.

3) Please take a look at my headlining article on the Student Doctor Network home page, “Tales from an Insider….”

Whew! I’m ready for a rest.

Her speech will bump my talk – previously at 2:30pm – to 3pm.

I look forward to seeing many of you there.

AMSA Featured Speaker

For the second year in a row, I have been invited to be a featured speaker at AMSA’s  national convention. The AMSA 61st Annual Convention will to be held in Washington, DC this spring. I’m scheduled to speak on Saturday, March 12, 2010 at 10 am. In the past the American Medical Student Association’s national meetings have been the largest annual gatherings of medical students in the United States. I’ll be offering an interactive lecture called “Getting Into Residency: An Insider’s Tips.”

See you there.
