Abstract
Program directors (PDs) are faced with an
increasing number of applicants to emergency medicine
(EM) and a limited number of positions. This article will provide candidates with insight to what PDs look for in an applicant. We will elaborate on the performance in the emergency
medicine clerkship, interview, clinical rotations (apart from
EM), board scores, Alpha Omega Alpha membership,
letters of recommendation, Medical Student Performance
Evaluation or dean’s letter, extracurricular activities, Gold
Humanism Society membership, medical school attended,
research and scholarly projects, personal statement, and
commitment to EM. We stress the National Resident Matching Program process and how, ultimately, selection of a residency is equally dependent on an applicant’s selection
process.
