They may also want to touch back with students after they have matched to develop a mental list of what students from their own institution report about programs, as well as where they matched. Advisors may want to communicate directly with the Program Director at their institution or nearby programs to gather this information. In general, students do not need to have their Step 2 Score posted at the time of application, but students who think they underperformed on Step 1 may wish to take Step 2 sooner rather than later so that it is available to Program Directors when they first review the application.Īdvisors should stay informed about what program directors are looking for in an application. Although the number of applicants to psychiatry residency continues to grow in recent years, faculty can assuage students’ anxieties by reviewing the “Charting Outcomes in the Match.” For example, 90% of applicants who ranked nine programs matched in 2020. Advisors can guide students to review how competitive they would have been using the published previous year’s data based on scores, publications, and experiences (research, work, and volunteer). Osteopathic, and foreign medical graduates. The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) regularly publishes “Charting Outcomes in the Match” by U.S.
The number of programs a student applies to depends on the strength of the student’s academic achievements, and advisors should recommend students consider applying to some “safety schools” that are not out of reach given their qualifications (grades, Step 1 Score, quality of MSPE comments, other noteworthy characteristics). Learning about their lives, their reasons for choosing to match into psychiatry, and sharing a bit of yourself can make this relationship successful. We recommend starting the advising process by getting to know the individual medical student. We recommend creating an identified list of faculty advisors that can be easily accessed by students. If there are several persons serving as faculty advisors at a single institution, consider meeting during the interview season to exchange knowledge and brainstorm challenges. Faculty advisors should utilize resources at the local institution-the Deans of Students Affairs/Academic Affairs Offices may also provide overview guidance. This can serve as a guide in helping both faculty advisor and student in making decisions and developing a timeline of their process. In recent years, these organizations created a living document called “A Roadmap to Psychiatric Residency”.

Knowledge about what is happening and how to help your trainee navigate these changes is crucial.
Interviews were virtual, away rotations canceled, and key examinations were paused or suspended. In 2020, issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed the landscape of psychiatry residency applicant interviews across the nation. Staying abreast of contemporary issues affecting students applying in their current, match cycle is important and reviewing listservs and websites of the many academic psychiatric organizations can provide some guidance. Given this variety, the authors wish to stress that faculty advisors need do not need to know all the answers nor should they work in isolation.
Among the authors of this paper, one had a group of identified psychiatric educators serving as faculty advisors, one institution assigned fourth year medical students to identified faculty regardless of specialty match, and others had no formal structure. There is no one defined way to structure faculty advising.
