It's Not Too Late!

 

Dear Doctors,

It is not too late to apply for a second specialty program.  After you have decided, for whatever reason, that you would like to apply for a different specialty, it is not too late to upload a 2nd or 3rd personal statement for your additional choices.  We can help you with an expedited edit for the new specialty. Or, you may have decided you would like to apply for the same specialty but to a different type of program, such as a larger institution in a city to a more rural program.  We can definitely help you re-calibrate your personal statement to focus on a different type of program.  

We can also edit your current statement to include more recent clinical experience, explain a red flag in your history or adjust your essay to convey that you have what it takes to succeed academically, socially and professionally in your given specialty. 

To our medical fellowship applicants we are available the year round for your personal statement and CV editing needs.  Even if you are already accepted in a fellowship program, we are here to help edit your written projects if you need it. 

We hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

Elizabeth

U.S. Medical Residency Applicants 2023

My Dear Medical Residency Applicants,

Be very careful with your social media profiles, posts, likes and public remarks!  While you may change your settings to "private" mode, nothing is completely private once it has been published online.  Outside of the fact that your personal online legacy is going to live on way beyond your own years, residency selection committees for now will be able to check out all your information as they consider your medical residency application.  See yourself as others see you, both present and future.  

So that's the only advice for this morning.  You are smart enough to understand the reasoning! 

With kind regards,

Elizabeth 

  

Your U.S. Medical Residency/Medical Fellowship Personal Statement

Good Morning My Dear IMG's and FMG's, DO's, MD's & Medical Fellowship Applicants! 

I hope this finds you well.  Please contact us if you need help with covering what you perceive to be problem area with your personal statement.  As I mentioned yesterday, we can help you express in your essay what you THINK may be a major weakness in your application.  

The thing is, is that no one is perfect, including the program directors who are going to be reading your PS.  In most all cases, we have all built upon our weaknesses and turned them to strengths. 

Again, here are a few more examples of areas where we can help:

• Poor USMLE scores
• A gap in your resume
• Lack of medical experience
• Low grades in med. school
• Demanding family issues
• Advancing age of the applicant
• A change in specialty choice
• Not completing an earlier residency program 
• Over qualification
• Illness
• A PS that is too long  (We like to keep them at about 650-750 words.)
• A PS that is too short
• A disorganized CV 
• No research 

The only thing I can think of that is difficult for us to edit and justify is if you have a TOTAL lack of passion for the medical specialty or subspecialty to which you are applying.  That being said, it is still a good idea to cover your bases with a couple of specialty applications in somewhat related fields.  I mean, OBGYN/Surgery/Family Medicine, etc. is not for everyone.  Do not waste your effort on a "Plan D," but do consider applying for a second or third choice in case your first specialty choice doesn't work out. 

By the way, here are some links to a great site where you might converse anonymously with others about a variety of subjects related to you USMLE tests and residency application:

Spring Has Sprung!

Good morning my dear medical residency and medical fellowship applicants!

I hope you have all survived the pandemic!  As it seems the end may be in sight, many of us may be experiencing what an author from the Atlantic last week referred to as "SENIORITIS."  With senioritis, in the last year of high school and all of the exciting promises of a bright future, the student becomes a little lazy, distracted and forgetful.  We all may have a bit of PTSD from the trauma of the pandemic, so let's not be too hard on ourselves.  It's the time for patience and perseverance. 

It's also time to start thinking about your personal statement for your specialty of choice.  We can help! 

Shoot us an email at cvpersonalstatement@gmail.com 

Kind regards,

Elizabeth
