Medical Specialty Aptitude Test

Hello Medical Residency and Medical Fellowship Applicants!

As you know, it's almost June.  For many of you, that means it's time to start working on your personal statement.   

Some of you are not positive which specialty to pursue, so I found this "Medical Specialty Aptitude Test," from the University of Virginia which may help you decide on a direction.  At least there are some important questions to consider before you make your choice.   The test may be of general help to fellowship applicants too, not for a specialty of course, but for a general guidance about your clinical preferences. 

It's very easy and quick, and offers you a chance to think about your unique personality traits in terms of specialties which mesh with your preferences and social skills.

So here you go:
