Careers in Medicine is a Web site designed by the AAMC to assist medical students in making informed career decisions. The decision-making process consists of four steps:
1. Understanding Yourself
2. Exploring Options
3. Choosing a Specialty
4. Getting into Residency
The AAMC designed these steps to follow the four years in medical school:
· Med 1: Do self-exploration
· Med 2: Learn as much as possible about available specialties
· Med 3: Begin to narrow choices
· Med 4: Commit to a residency choice
The Careers in Medicine Web site also offers an excellent timeline to help students prepare for the residency selection process. If you would like access to it, please e-mail jane.trask@osumc.edu. You will then be sent a token that will allow you to register and use the site at https://services.aamc.org/careersinmedicine.
