I serve as the lead Field Specific Advisor for students interested in and applying into OBGYN residencies. As a department, we have created a standardized advising manual utilizing NRMP Match data to help students identify their own profiles and help decide on strategies of how and where to apply. FSAs meet at least monthly with students to go over their progress in the application process and more intensely as application deadlines approach. We've utilized mock interview days, designing an interview day to mimic how residency interviews occur; requiring students to wear their interview clothes and then receive constructive feedback on interview skills.
