Top 15 Residency Application Tips | BeMo Academic Consulting

Today we will go over 15 residency application tips that will ensure your success and help you stand out from the crowd! These tips are provided by some of the top experts in the field who have gone through the residency application process hundreds and thousands of times and know what strategies to use to secure a match in your top-choice program.

Your application needs to demonstrate that you will be successful in residency training programs and rigorous assessments. Within your residency application, you should aim to highlight experiences and qualities that you possess that speak to the Core Competencies or the CanMEDS Framework.

Where should you start? Begin by listing every experience you have had or position you have held that might fall under each of the core competencies or CanMEDS roles. This list will be helpful when you begin to compose your application components.

You will also be discussing these same experiences when you answer residency interview questions. Remember that most common interview questions have to do with your experiences and skills that make you a great fit for your chosen programs. Thus, brainstorming which of your skills and activities relate to Core Competencies and CanMEDS can make the application process a lot easier and set you up for success – you can reference a well-planned list of activities at any time during your application.
