Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide some practical ideas to help senior medical students understand and navigate the process of applying to a psychiatry residency. Individualized advice on how to find the best fitting program for a particular student is beyond the scope of this article. The comments are intended to provide guidance, but are not meant to be a rigid recipe. Perspectives were integrated from a recently matched psychiatric resident (Dr. Bak), a director of a psychiatry residency (Dr. Louie), a medical student career adviser (Dr. Tong), a medical educator (Dr. Coverdale), and a department of psychiatry chair (Dr. Roberts). The core clerkship in psychiatry is often the first clinical introduction to psychiatry for most medical students and an opportunity to see whether the specialty would be a good fit. In the event that psychiatry becomes a serious consideration, the student should survey the residents and attendings on their decision to pursue this specialty. At the end of the rotation, the student may choose to ask for a recommendation letter, especially while the students performance is fresh in the attendings memory. Receiving the top grade (e.g., honors) in the core psychiatry rotation is not essentialPreview Only. This article cannot be rented because we do not currently have permission from the publisher.
