居住申请和匹配
女士四世
So, 当学生们进入医学院最后一年的时候, 他们终于看到了隧道尽头的光明. The focus is on a bright future in a career that will be a good fit, rewarding and fun!
第四年的待办事项清单可能有点令人生畏, but there are many resources to help students navigate the residency application and placement process. 住院医师的匹配包括几个大的部分. Here are the typical benchmarks, but everyone is a bit different and many variations work well.
- 选择一个专业. It helps if you can accomplish this by the end of your third year. 你选修课的选择应该首先服务于这个目标.
- 选择你专业的“战略性”选修课, 产生字母, 成绩, and narratives that support your application (summer and early fall).
- Apply to residency programs via the 电子居留申请服务 (时代) in the summer of your 女士四世 year.
- 申请全国居民比赛计划(NRMP), 旧金山比赛计划, 夏季的军事和泌尿外科配对项目.
- 面试季节通常在11月到次年1月.
- 对你选择的课程进行排名(1月- 2月)
- 在MS四年级的12月1日之前参加USMLE第二步考试. Note: Some students may choose to take it earlier to bolster applications.
- 与住院医师匹配. December for military, January for urology and 旧金山比赛 programs, March for NRMP.
一旦你选择了一个专业:
- Consult your Residency Advisor: You should consult with your advisory dean regarding your plans. 这个人会在整个过程中指导你.
- Meet with the Specialty Advisor(s) to get advice regarding residency choice, 专门的住院医师项目, 这是阶序表.
- Meet with your Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) a.k.a. “院长的信”的作者.
- Talk to the department chair, residency director and/or faculty of the specialty you have chosen.
- 研究住院医师项目:
- American Medical Association's Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access (FREIDA). Through this system, students are able to print lists of residency programs; i.e. 东北地区的家庭医疗项目清单. FREIDA Online is a free service and is available through the AMA.
- AMA 研究生医学教育目录 The directory is the book version of AMA-FREIDA. Copies are available in the 图书馆 and the 学生事务 Offices (Syracuse and Binghamton Campus). Information regarding the purchase of your own copy of the book can be found on-line. However, this information is available for free on the AMA FREIDA Online website (see above).
- Check the program websites - most residency programs have websites that provide information specifically for residency applicants. 如果信息无法在网上获得, call or write to the program to request infomation (the best time to start is after July 4th). 在看过感兴趣的节目信息之后, 缩小你的范围, 1/5应该是“安全”项目, and the remainder should be a good fit as far as competitiveness for the specialty, but aim to get more interview offers that you intend to accept so that you have some choice in where you interview.
如果你还没决定，或者只是想确定一下:
- 与你的住院医师顾问见面
- Attend meetings sponsored by the residency program directors and student organizations. 会议通常在春天举行. 你会收到电子邮件通知.
- 安排与系主任的会面, 项目主管和专业顾问讨论方案.
- Visit physicians in the specialties in which you have an interest to see their practices.
- 使用 医学职业网站.

住院医师项目的类型
Residency 项目 are listed by the 全国居民配对计划 as Categorical, 初级和高级.
C -分类
项目 in a specialty that meet the specific requirements for that specialty. 虽然培训合同或协议是每年订立的, the categorical program usually provides the appropriate number of years of training to satisfy certification requirements (3 years of Medicine, 3年儿科, 手术5年)见表1.
M -初级
Categorical programs in primary care medicine and primary care pediatrics that begin in the PGY-1 year and provide the full training required for specialty board certification.
提供一到两年的综合专业培训. Preliminary programs are of three types: 手术, Internal Medicine or 过渡. 前两点不言自明. The 过渡 program provides graduates with an experience in several specialty rotations before entering training in a single specialty. 过渡年居住限制为一年. (Example: 麻醉学 or 精神病学 wants you to complete one broad-based year of training before entering their specialty). The 过渡 year would give you four months (or six months) of Medicine, 两个月的手术, two months of OB/GYN (or 儿科) and two months of 精神病学. Exact rotations in the 过渡 year vary among hospitals. 最后, sometimes a preliminary year can be obtained by special arrangement with specialties not listed as preliminary (病理, 儿科和妇产科). 过渡课程是最具竞争力的, followed in descending order by Internal Medicine and 手术.
A -高级
项目 that have arranged positions through NRMP for the second year of training (PGY-2) rather than the first post-graduate year (PGY-1). The specialty's first year of training begins in the second year residency or later. 对于很多这样的项目, 学生将需要PGY-1, 初步年度任命, 除了他们的专业职业选择, 从毕业一年后开始.
R -医生
项目 that are reserved for physicians who have had prior graduate medical education. Reserved programs offer PGY-2 positions that begin in the year of the Match and thus are not available to senior medical students.
