An in depth video on how I got into residency/ my road to residency (Pediatrics). I discuss my path of getting into residency, my experiences in medical school that led me here, as well as using ERAS and NRMP during application season. This is a much longer video than usual but I mentioned most of what I did throughout my journey and during application season to help me match effectively. Dr. Janelle Jackman also gives us insight on how to enhance your CV and tips for those who have already matched.
