Residency Recruiting in the Time of COVID

It’s that time of year again – residency recruiting season! But this year, things will look very different, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. We talk with Dr. David Barnes, Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director at UC Davis, about some of the challenges for both applicants and residency leadership. He also offers some sound advice for students applying in EM – most importantly, be yourself and be flexible; this format is new to everyone.  Do you have questions or concerns about the residency application and interview process this year?  Send us your thoughts on social media @empulsepodcast, or through our website, ucdavisem.com. ***Please rate us and leave us a review on iTunes!
