The Match & ERAS Survival Guide: Step 2 CK, Rank Lists & The SOAP | Facilitated Sessions S4 Finale

Описание: Welcome to the Season 4 Finale of Facilitated Sessions! 🎙️🎓

We are officially closing out the medical school chapter. You've survived the preclinical years, conquered the wards, and now... it’s time for "The Exit Strategy." In this season finale, Dr. Jackson and Dr. Taylor break down the ultimate residency match blueprint to get you from 4th year to Match Day without losing your mind.

First, we tackle USMLE Step 2 CK. With Step 1 moving to Pass/Fail, Step 2 CK is the "new standard." We break down the exact 4-6 week timeline you need to get your score back before ERAS opens on September 1st.

We also decode the "Holistic Interview." Spoiler alert: If you get an invite, your numbers are already good enough. Now, program directors are looking for fit. Plus, we tackle the reality of the residency Rank List. Stop ranking prestige over your own happiness, and stop using the expensive "shotgun approach" of applying to 200 programs blindly.

Finally, we talk about the elephant in the room: The SOAP (Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program). Dr. Jackson shares his personal experience of opening that "Did Not Match" email on Monday morning, choosing a 5th year over settling, and successfully matching into Psychiatry the following year.

In this episode, we cover:

1. The New Standard: Why Step 2 CK is the ultimate test of diagnosis and management, and the timeline to crush it.

2. ERAS & The Match: The pain points of residency applications and why tracking your "token" and reading school emails is half the battle.

3. The Holistic Interview: What program directors are actually looking for when assessing your professional identity and community alignment.

4. The Rank List Strategy: How to choose your Top 5 non-negotiables (Location, Culture, Call Schedule) and avoid ranking programs you'd hate to attend.

5. Surviving The SOAP: Why you need a worst-case scenario plan before Match week, and how to pivot like a pro if you don't match.

If you are staring down 4th year and feeling the pressure of ERAS, this episode is your strategic playbook. Leave nothing up to chance.
