Your Specialty Will Be Decided For You in MS3, UNLESS You DO This (Start in MS1 & MS2)

Описание: Don't let your medical school specialty be decided for you. Many if not most med schools are set up like a "factory line," pushing students toward oversaturated generalist tracks. By the time you start your MS3 rotations, it's often too late to build the plan needed for a competitive or uncommon specialty.

This video is a must-watch strategy guide for MS1 and MS2 students to think ahead, as well as rising and current MS3s who are still trying to put together a plan. You must plan early to avoid having your options severely limited. Waiting until you're in the third year to start planning the endgame of the third year has significant potential downsides.

In this video, Dr. Brands dissects the MS3 sequence from a caring professor's point of view and gives you thought provoking fill-in-the-blank questions. Can you readily answer these, or do you need to go back to the drawing board posthaste?

You get one shot, one opportunity.

Avoid the "factory line" trap and take these actionable steps early... from finding mentors in niche specialties to planning research and experiences... so you can build the MS3 schedule you need, not whatever's the standard-issue.
