Intro to Specialty Career Selection: Exploring Residency Specialty Selection with Career Advisors

Are you intimidated by the number of specialty choices out there? Do you want to feel more confident when answering the dreaded question, "What kind of doctor do you want to be". The School of Medicine, Center for Specialty Career Advising is offering a 2-quarter seminar series, highlighting the different specialty career choices offered for your post graduate training. We recognize that pre-clinical medical students may have a general idea of what field of medicine they might be interested in pursuing, but often aren't exposed to the vast number of choices until later in their clinical years. This series will feature 20 different and popular specialties. Each week, we will highlight a different specialty through a seminar led by the Specialty Career Advisor (SCA) in that field of medicine. Each SCA is carefully selected as an expert and mentor in that field and will provide you with an overview of what to expect should you choose that specialty. Each overview will also provide a next steps framework to learn more about the field with ample time for Q&A. There is no better time to start exploring than now! This series is a Pass-Fail attendance only course.
