How To Match Into a Competitive Specialty: Part 1

How do you match into a competitive specialty? In this episode, we discuss specific strategies for matching, even if you have a lower USMLE score or may otherwise be less competitive than other applicants. We review three major strategies, including the importance of contact with a program's faculty, the importance of faculty advocates, and the importance of emphasizing "fit" with a program via your ERAS and personal statement.
