@@htethtetlin Sometimes, the program will provide email addresses of your interviewing faculty on the day of interview. You can also ask the program coordinator (PC) for this information (highly recommended). Make sure to send a thank you note to the PC as well

Thank you for explaining Dr. Basunia! How to approach the rest of the programs in the list that are definitely among the top, where you would love to train at as well?
@AzfarBasuniaMD2 жыл бұрын
If a program is not at the top of your list, I would not send them anything other than thank you letters. I think if you are applying to a surgical subspecialty, it may be more acceptable (check with your advisor first though).

Hello Sir. It's wonderful to know that you matched at such a prestigious university! Did you do an elective there? Did you have any personal ties? How did you manage to match in final year itself?
@AzfarBasuniaMD3 жыл бұрын
Greetings! No I did not do an elective, nor did I have any personal ties. I have indeed been very lucky to match at UPenn. In my opinion, I had a good application for DR (board scores, clinical grades, LoRs). Additionally, I also highlighted multiple professional reasons to train at UPenn, including how their pathways in global health and medical education fit into my future career. I didn’t match in the final year of residency. I matched in the final year of my medical school (4th year of medical school), which is when most American Medical Graduates (AMGs) apply.
