You’ve made it this far! You’ve taken the MCAT, gotten into medical school, finished up Step 1. Now is the moment you’ve been waiting for your whole life. Your first day as a doctor! Unfortunately, before you get there, you must traverse the slippery slope of the Match process.

In order to get the results your want out of the match, MedSchoolCoach has developed a comprehensive residency coaching program. We can offer insight and guidance through various aspects of the application process, but specifically we help with:

Personal Statement Editing: $150-$600
The residency application personal statement is one of the most important parts of your application. Programs use the personal statement to differentiate applicants with similar “stats.” We work with you to brainstorm and develop ideas – content development. We help you avoid trite ideas and develop original ones which bring out your strengths and interest in your chosen field. Individuals reviewing your application will literally spend no more than 3 minutes reading your personal statement – you’ve probably spent 3 weeks writing it. MedSchoolCoach will work with you to make sure that your essay is powerful and sticks out against the other applicants.

Program List Creation/Rank List Creation: $150
Applying to the right programs is crucial. Apply to too few and you maybe left scrambling. Apply to too many and you’ll be overwhelmed with interviews. We help pick out the right programs for your speciality. We also help in considering a back up speciality. Finally, our physicians can help you choose the right rank list order to fit your needs.

ERAS Application/Resume Editing: $300
The resume portion of your ERAS will be used extensively by each program. Your ERAS written application to programs should be outstanding. When deciding if an applicant should be granted an interview, the admissions committee may spend the most time reviewing extracurricular activity descriptions. Because our physicians understand what programs are looking for, we will help make your application stand out through multiple reviews and edits.

Mock Interview: $450/2+ hours
The interview is the final, and most important, piece of the residency application process. Programs interview anywhere from 2 to 20+ people for each spot they have, so you must separate yourself. Do not leave anything to chance. Let our advisors coach you in the art of interviewing in front of a physician.

Access to graduate medical training programs such as residencies is a competitive process known as “the Match.” Senior medical students usually begin the application process at the beginning of their (usually) fourth and final year in medical school. After they apply to programs, programs review applications and invite selected candidates for interviews held between October and February. After the interview period is over, students submit a “rank-order list” to a centralized matching service (currently the National Residency Matching Program, abbreviated NRMP) by February. Similarly, residency programs submit a list of their preferred applicants in rank order to this same service. The process is blinded, so neither applicant nor program will see each other’s list. The two parties’ lists are combined by an NRMP computer, which creates optimal matches of residents to programs using an algorithm. On the third Thursday of March each year (“Match Day”) these results are announced in Match Day ceremonies at the nation’s 155 U.S. medical schools. By entering the Match system, applicants are contractually obligated to go to the residency program at the institution to which they were matched. The same applies to the programs; they are obligated to take the applicants who matched into them.

MedSchoolCoach can help you with:

  1. Choosing the right specialty (and perhaps backup specialty) to apply to given your grades, USMLE scores and desires.
  2. Crafting a personal statement that stands out among hundreds of other applicants for your spot in the eyes of residency program directors.
  3. Filling out the ERAS in a way that shows your interest in a particular specialty, but also highlights your accomplishments and qualities in a way that residency programs want to see.
  4. Preparing and practicing for your interview in order to come across as the perfect fit for a particular program.
  5. Creating your rank list to maximize your chances at your top choice programs
