  • Primer for Applying to Internal Medicine Residency Programs A
    Primer for Applying to Internal Medicine Residency Programs A) Fourth-Year Schedule: • Ideally, schedule the internal medicine sub-internship during July or August in order to procure a letter of recommendation (if needed). • Alternative clinical experiences to consider in place of the sub-internship include: o Away rotations: ▪ Away rotations are NOT required for IM. The majority of students applying to IM across the country do not partake in visiting rotations. Visiting rotations are most helpful if students demonstrate a significant interest in a particular program or location. ▪ Away rotations may increase the chance of an invitation to interview at the hosting institution, but this is NOT guaranteed. ▪ Visiting subspecialty electives are preferred over visiting sub- internships, which require strong institutional systems knowledge to optimize clinical performance. o Critical Care Clerkship o Subspecialty Rotations at Cooper • IM residency interviews often start in mid-October and extend to the end of January with the majority of interviews occurring in November and December. Therefore, plan accordingly. • Schedule a more rigorous clinical experience in the spring to enhance clinical skills prior to graduation in preparation for residency. B) Timeline: C) Curriculum Vitae & ERAS Application: • Timeline: Should include all longitudinal, meaningful experiences from the first day of college until present day. • Experience Boxes: o Research Experience: ▪ Include all meaningful research at both the undergraduate and medical school level

Acknowledgements The Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan, was a major information resource for this paper. I appreciate the information and advice provided by N. Reed Dunnick, Barry H. Gross, Nicholas H. Steneck, Terry M. Silver and Donna C. Eder and thank Horace W. Davenport for permitting wide use of material from his book [4] and Kallie Bila Michels, Judalyn G. Seling, Cynthia Sims-Holmes and Diane D. Williams for their assistance in preparing the manuscript. I also appreciate the editorial assistance of Keri Ellis of the American Roentgen Ray Society. Finally, I regret the inability, for lack of space, to cite many individuals whose accomplishments contributed to the rich heritage of the department. Some of this material has been previously published (Martel W. The Rich Tradition of Radiology at the University of Michigan. AJR 1995;165:995-1002) and is reproduced here with permission of the American Roentgen Ray Society. 3 The Distinguished History of Radiology at the University of Michigan As we celebrate the centennial of Roentgen's discovery of X-rays, it is appropriate to reflect on the events at the University of Michigan that arose from that discovery and on the significant influence the Department of Radiology subsequently had on the emergence of radiology as an important, scientific medical specialty.
