How to Choose a Residency Program / Tips for Success in Medical School

Choosing a residency program can be anxiety-provoking because residency is such a major milestone in your journey to becoming a full-fledged, independently practicing physician. You're making one of the biggest decisions of your life. But because the decision is so impactful, choosing a residency (or rather, ranking them) makes you look inside yourself and pinpoint what is truly important to you. In this video, I share what factors ended up being the most important for me when choosing a residency.

Really totally agree that my priorities CHANGED a lot by the time it got to applying for residency! And I think that should be the case for most people and they should start prioritizing the other things you mentioned over prestige :)
