Back

4th year med students now get a limited number of "signals" to indicate interest in residency programs when vying for interviews. Each specialty sets a max number of signals applicants can use. At #AAFPNC I learned that Family Medicine allocates 5 per applicant -- much lower than most other specialties -- to try to ensure programs will interview students who didn't spend a signal to apply. (Before this year, students advised to apply to 15-20, but most students applied to 30-60!)
