the match process
USMLE: YOU ARE MORE THAN JUST YOUR STEP SCORE! Even though USMLE Step is important, it is not everything. Do not give up on your dream specialties because of grades or a below average USMLE score. Dermatology is arguably one of the hardest specialties to match. Many students believe that it is not possible to match this specialty without top quartile USMLE step scores. But a select group of students with scores that were at or below the national USMLE average obtained a 70% match rate in 2018. What made these students overcome the odds? This group with lower than average scores had to have an above average game plan to make this competitive match happen. Medical students spend thousands of dollars and thousands of hours to prepare and take the USMLE exams. Approach the application process with the same level of dedication, intensity and preparation as if it was a USMLE exam. You would not walk into a USMLE step exam without preparing for it completely; don’t walk into the application season without Roadmap to Residency as your guide.
VSAS: This is essentially your application to sub-internships across the country. This process is time sensitive and has to be figured out months before you apply for sub-internships. There are many pitfalls in this process. One of the most prevalent that we hear about is immunizations. For most applications you will need adequate immunization titers before you can start a sub-internship at your program of choice. If your titers are not high enough and you are deemed un-immune, then you will have to undergo the re-immunization process which can take months, for immunity to be achieved. This is just one of the many pitfalls that students are never notified about. There are also more pressing matters such as how to act on sub-internships, and how to make it your time to shine. A sub-internship can be an opportunity for you to match at a place that would have otherwise been impossible without this chance. Get it right the first time, and get your guidance today.

ERAS: Eras is your application. It is the NRMP software that residency match candidates will use in order to submit their applications to residencies across the country. It is a software that students are often told to familiarize themselves with because there are many complex facets to the internet interface. But if you have coaching on how to structure your application, it can mean the difference between matching and not matching. From the moment you start medical school, research projects, and extracurricular experiences should be structured with the ERAS application process in mind. For instance, ERAS does not allow you to submit research projects in progress, but they do let you submit published, or even submitted research, as well as presentations and posters. If you do not tailor your research for publication submission, it essentially has no significance, as you will not be allowed to mention it on your ERAS residency application. That means the retrospective analysis you have been working on for three years won't even go on your application if you do not submit it for publication before you apply to eras. Call us and we can help you avoid pitfalls and wasted time.

NRMP: The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), also called The Match, is a United States-based private non-profit non-governmental organization. It was created in 1952 to place U.S. medical school students into residency training programs located in United States teaching hospitals. Its mission has since expanded to include the placement of U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen international medical school students and graduates into residency and fellowship training programs. The annual Main Residency Match encompasses more than 43,000 applicants and 31,000 positions. The NRMP is sponsored by a Board of Directors that includes medical school deans, teaching hospital executives, graduate medical education program directors, medical students and residents, and one public member.
You are more than just your Step score! Many people still match into competitive residencies with average step scores. That is because they know how the game is played!
