Are you interested in a career in Pediatrics? If so...

Join us during our live stream webinar TWM: 10 Tips & Tricks to a Successful Pediatrics Residency Application Season. Students will receive a presentation led by two Stanford-trained pediatricians who were successful in their pediatrics application season and beyond. Presenters will share tips and tricks - that are unique and one of a kind advice - to ensure that URM peds residency applicants have full disclosure about the norms and expectations - disclosed and not disclosed - to ensure their success in the cycle.

Though current MS-IV's will have already submitted their application, the presentation will include tips beyond the application submission like tips on interviews and how to professionally correspond with program directors of peds residencies, etc. For medical students who have not yet reached the point of submitting their application for peds residency, this will be an opportunity to learn how to be a competitive applicant and how to put together a strong application. For pre-meds, this will be valuable information to store for a future residency application season.

Come ready with questions or simply attend to learn more about the pediatrics residency application!
