MS1–MS3 Roundtable Sessions: Preparing for Residency (Personal Statement & Away Rotations)
Sunday, October 5, 2:15–4:25 pm 

The duties of the faculty volunteers will include either coaching students about how to approach writing their personal statement for residency application purposes or sharing expertise and guidance on away rotations and working with AAMC Visiting Student Learning Opportunities program. Volunteers are asked to be well-versed in these topics; otherwise, no preparation on your part is required.

Mock Interview Practice Sessions with Surgeons
