An extremely valuable resource for medical students.
Dr. Tysinger draws on his extensive experience advising medical students to share useful strategies for the match process. He offers practical tips for preparing personal statements and CVs, and gives particular attention to the process of identifying personal experiences and strengths and developing "marketing strategies" for residency interviews. Lots of examples are provided to help illustrate the variety of experiences that can be discussed in a personal statement. Dr. Tysinger also provides worksheets for the applicant to complete to aid in the writing process. Much of the advice provided will be of great help to physicians further along in their careers, as well as other health professionals. This book will be particularly helpful to the medical student who is having difficulty with his/her personal statement because "I haven't done anything except go to medical school for the last four years!" This book can help you identify your strengths and unique abilities, no matter what you've done (or haven't done) and no matter what your specialty choice is. I highly recommend it.
