If you’re planning to apply for residency this 2025 year, here’s your January checklist to set yourself up for success:
1️⃣ Reflect on Your Previous Application (if reapplying)
💭 Take an honest look at what went wrong last time. Was it your personal statement, LORs, test scores, or something else? Don’t submit the same application! Make a plan to address gaps and highlight your growth in next years app.
2️⃣ Update Your CV
📋 Make sure your CV is polished and up-to-date. Include all relevant clinical experiences, conferences, leadership roles, research in progress, and volunteer work. This will be crucial to provide to LOR writers!
3️⃣ Draft Your Personal Statement
🖋️ Start brainstorming and outlining your story. What motivates you? Why this specialty? What makes you stand out? Write multiple drafts to refine your message.
4️⃣ Plan Your Away Rotations (if applicable)
🌍 If your specialty values away rotations, research programs and application deadlines now. They can be a great way to showcase your skills and get a feel for a program.

💡 Pro Tip: Start early and pace yourself. A little preparation now will save you from last-minute stress later. I have worked with dozens of medical students and residents, and those that succeed strategically plan for challenges and
