Transitioning to Residency: What Medical Students Need to Know

The AMA's Minority Affairs Consortium (MAC) has developed this online resource for medical students transitioning into residency training programs.   The information is meant to provide an overview of the planning, application and selection process from the personal viewpoints of our MAC colleagues who have successfully gone through the process themselves. 

The materials below are a work in progress, and as such our MAC colleagues continue to provide materials and add their particular insights.  We welcome your contributions as well. Please contact  us via e-mail.  For information on joining the MAC visit our Web site or call the MAC office at (312) 464-5529.

We also suggest that you visit the AMA's Resident and Fellow Section and the Medical Student Section Web sites for additional information regarding medical school and residency issues.
