Murali Sivarajan, Wil Van Cleve, Tzevan Poon, Renata Yes N/A Ferreira, David Tauben, Andrew Pittaway Student Interest Group (S.I.G.) S.I.G. Contact Information Dr. Daniel Low Anesthesiology Interest Group (AIG UWSOM) [email protected] Frequently Asked Questions Which clerkships are required for students to match in Anesthesiology? Clerkship in Pain Medicine recommended for those students with long-term career goal of pain medicine practice. Although not required, an anesthesiology clerkship is strongly recommended. The 4-week anesthesiology clerkship (Advanced Anesthesiology) is strongly preferred to the 2- week clerkship (Basic Anesthesiology): -- 4 week clerkships -- 2 week clerkships -- 2 week clerkships ANEST 681 – Seattle, WA (UWMC) ANEST 663 – Cheyenne, WY ANEST 677 – Seattle, WA (Swedish) ANEST 682 – Seattle, WA (HMC) ANEST 665 – Anchorage, AK ANEST 678 – Seattle, WA (VAMC) ANEST 683 – Seattle, WA (VAMC) ANEST 667 – Billings, MT ANEST 679 – Seattle, WA (HMC) ANEST 668 – Missoula, MT ANEST 684 – Spokane, WA ANEST 680 – Seattle, WA (UWMC) ANEST 671 – Boise, ID ANEST 688 – Cheyenne, WY ANEST 672 – Boise, ID (VAMC) 3 Which Advanced Patient Care clerkships help students prepare for residency in Anesthesiology? Advanced Clerkship in: Anesthsiology Advanced Anesthesia/Pain Medicine Clerkship Chronic Care/Pain Management Pediatric Emergency Medicine Critical Care Medicine (non-APC Critical Care APC in Medicine, or Subinternship in Critical Care Medicine taken for APC credit) Outpatient Cardiology Which UWSOM Sub-Is help students prepare for residency in Anesthesiology? General Surgery, Surgical Intensive Care Unit (Surgical ICU), Subinternship in Critical Care Medicine (Medical ICU), Subinternship in Neurocritical Care Medicine (Neurosurgical ICU, conjoint Med/Anesthesia), Cardiology Subinternship Do you recommend that students take an elective in Anesthesiology at another institution? Away electives are helpful for students interested in residency at a specific institution, or if they are unable to schedule a clerkship at a UW Medicine or WWAMI site in a timely fashion. Are there any electives outside this specialty that you recommend to students interested in matching into Anesthesiology? Cardiology or Clinical Respiratory Disease (Pulmonary); could also take additional critical care APC's or subinternships for elective credit. Do you have any additional recommendations for students who are committed to matching in this specialty? Because anesthesiologists practice in settings of the operating room, emergency room, intensive care unit, and pain clinic, students rotating through these clinical settings on non-anesthesiology clerkships should seek advice and clinical experience from anesthesiologists who may be working in these settings. For example, when on the required general surgery or obstetrics rotations, befriend the anesthesiologist, inquire about his/her job, and ask to participate in clinical care (as your time and other responsibilities allow). Research can be helpful, both to your own career exploration and your residency application, so seek such opportunities when interested. Please list the most common mistakes students make when they apply to your specialty: Students may not consider anesthesiology until late in their clinical clerkship years, which can make scheduling an anesthesiology clerkship difficult. See suggestion above about exploring anesthesiologists roles while participating in required, non-anesthesiology clerkships. Complete an anesthesiology clerkship no later than September of the MS4 year. 4 If a student is strongly interested in Anesthesiology, please rate how important each of the following activities and performance factors are for a successful residency match. 5 4 3 2 1 Highly Important Less Important Achieving 4 or more "Honors" in required clerkship rotations ● Achieving "Honors" in this specialty's clerkship rotation ● Doing a preceptorship in this specialty ● Doing a UWSoM Explore & Focus Sub-I in this specialty ● Doing an away rotation in this specialty ● Doing a summer research project in this specialty ● Express a strong interest in academic medicine ● Having a published abstract or poster presentation ● Having at least one published paper in a peer reviewed journal ● Having a Step I USMLE score above 235 ● Election to AOA ● 1 letter of reference from someone in this specialty ● 1 letter of recommendation from a department chair in this specialty ● 3 letters of recommendation from physicians in this specialty ● Having a Master's Degree (eg.MPH) ● Being bilingual ● GHIP or other international experience ● Having an interest in practicing in a rural or underserved community ● Doing RUOP or other experience in underserved communities ● Election to Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) ● Participating in community service ● 5 National Characteristics of Entering Anesthesiology Residents Length of Residency Training Categorical vs. Advanced Program Median Salaries Clinical Practice starting salary: $250,000 4 years Both available Academic Med.

Residency Application Process - Frequently Asked Questions How many programs should a student apply to in order to be successful in matching in Anesthesiology? 20-30 Recognizing that it can vary from year to year, nationally, when is the typical interview season for Anesthesiology? November to January At what point in the interview season should a student become concerned about their application to Anesthesiology residency programs? Concern is raised if 10 interviews are not schedules by November 1. If a student is concerned about their application status, what should they do?

Yes Are there any electives outside this specialty that you recommend to students interested in matching into Dermatology? Infectious disease, rheumatology, pediatric dermatology, pathology Do you have any additional recommendations for students who are committed to matching in this specialty? This is a competitive specialty, so best to have realistic expectations. Also, it's much harder to match if you are geographically restricted; it's important to apply broadly. Lastly, know your back up plan and discuss this with your advisor. Please list the most common mistakes students make when they apply to your specialty: Not applying broadly enough. Not having multiple people read your personal statement. No Plan B; you will be asked about this during interviews. Deciding late to apply to dermatology can be stressful. Get letters of recommendation from at least 2 dermatologists, preferably from academic people who will more likely know colleagues are other training programs. 7 If a student is strongly interested

  • MD/Phd Programs

    MD/Phd Programs

    MD/PhD Programs The typical program of study includes the first two years of the medical school basic sciences curriculum, followed by three or more years of graduate school and thesis research, and then the final two years of clinical clerkships. However, M.D./Ph.D. program length varies considerably between schools. The current average time to graduation from start to finish in MSTPs is 7-8 years. M.D./Ph.D. admissions The fraction of M.D./Ph.D. applicants is typically very small relative to those not pursuing a combined degree. At most schools, M.D./Ph.D. applicants must go through the normal medical application process. Applicants must also complete a separate M.D./Ph.D. application, which consists of MCAT scores, GPA, undergraduate institution, one or more essays, and additional letters of recommendation from those who can assess the applicant’s potential for a career in research. Interview arrangements vary between programs, with some providing airfare, hotel accommodations, meals, and planned activities. M.D./Ph.D. applicants typically have many more interviews at each school than those pursuing the standard M.D. pathway. In addition, many unique factors come into play when making a decision on which program to attend. There is considerable variation among programs in virtually all aspects of the application process, MSTP Programs Medical Scientist Training Programs (MSTP) are M.D./Ph.D. programs offered by a small number of United States medical schools with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to train physician scientists for biomedical research, particularly “translational” or “ bench and bedside” research.

    (Aoasm) Aoa Update

    AOASM– AOA Update April 26, 2021 AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION OF SPORTS MEDICINE (AOASM) AOA UPDATE I. OPENING REMARKS I am Thomas Ely, DO, an osteopathic board-certified Family Physician, and currently President of the American Osteopathic Association. April 18-24, 2021, we celebrated National Osteopathic Medicine Week, highlighting the proud 129-year heritage of osteopathic medicine, reflecting the momentous contributions of DOs – past, present, and future – within the health care system and in the lives of millions of patients. As we reflected on our heritage, we looked forward to our future. So, I thank you for the opportunity to provide a brief update on how the American Osteopathic Association is working for YOU. Even though we have been working in a “virtual world,” I can assure you that the AOA has been involved in many significant activities and areas that have, and will have, definite impact on the osteopathic profession. We are a physician-led, physician-directed organization working to measure, anticipate, and respond to YOUR needs. II. AOA OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES In addition to supporting physicians and students during the pandemic, the operational priorities for my presidential year have been aimed at advancing, enhancing, and building a bright future for the osteopathic profession. My first objective is to Expand the Osteopathic Community. Currently, osteopathic physicians represent approximately 11% of all practicing physicians in the United States, but osteopathic medicine is one of the fastest-growing segments of health care, with a growth increase of almost 300% over the past three decades. We graduate over 7,000 new osteopathic physicians a year and by the end of this decade, we will represent an estimated 20% of all practicing physicians in the United States.
