Seek Match Day Success:Follow the (200) rules

摘要

Medical students endure years of hard work and stress with the ultimate goal of matching into their residency of choice. In the book, The Successful Match: 200 Rules to Succeed in the Residency Match (MD2B, deoller34.95), Drs. Rajani Katta and Samir P. Desai provide the medical student reader with detailed prepara-tion for the matching process. In the best of scenarios, all students should be conscious of the Match from the first day of medical school. They should know that classroom success and notable board scores may not guarantee a spot in a distinguished residency program. It would be highly advisable to start reading up on the Match before hectic schedules, homework and tests wipe out early chances to prepare. Students can then fine-tune their efforts to achieve the distinctions and participate in the extracurricular activities that matter most in residency applications.
