  9. Choosing an Electives Advisor • Choose an advisor in the same specialty as your residency choice. • They may have connections/insight. • Choose someone you like and respect. • Consider whether you need someone to push you to work or relax. • Remember everyone on the list is a volunteer.

  13. General Advice • Use your faculty advisor to design your 4th year curriculum • Choose electives that will provide independence and autonomy • Choose electives in area of residency • Choose electives out of area of residency • Check out surveys of program directors (see Y4 website) • http://www.siumed.edu/oec/Year4/References/NRMP%20PDSurvey%202012.pdf

  16. RESIDENCY READINESS ELECTIVES • Surgery • Emergency Medicine • Ob/Gyn • Pediatrics • Internal Medicine • Radiology

  17. AWAY ELECTIVES • Helpful for certain situations, but not for all! • If you aren’t certain about a region of the country. • If the training at some other center is unavailable here. • If you REALLY, REALLY, want to go to a certain program. • Competitive regions of the country • Middle of the pack/Lower end students • If you go, go to shine • You are coming with baggage, you don’t want to make it worse

  18. Away Electives in a nutshell PROSCONS You get to know them Can be $$ They get to know you They get to know you

  20. THE RULES!

  21. Non-Cognitive Behavior Concern Note Goes to Curriculum Director →meeting Goes to Dean of Student Affairs →meeting Goes to your file If a 2nd occurs, →SPC **Egregious (“deadly sins”)→SPC directly

  22. CONSEQUENCES! • Satisfactory with decreased weeks of credit • Incomplete (must be completed before April—or converts to Unsatisfactory • Unsatisfactory-stays on transcript and triggers review by most medical licensing boards (ie. delays licensure for residency and practice each time you apply!)

  23. PLAN TO TAKE CPR/BLS AND ACLSBEFORE YOU START RESIDENCY
