Notas do Editor
Cautiously Fearless – Never a great time to add to the mix, but you can’t live that way. Have faith in yourself and your ability to continue to succeed. Afterall, you matched at Emory for radiology residency. Start ASAP, but start small. Constantly, re-evaluate your situation with respect to call performance, impending board exams, etc.
Mayo IM residency, shows positive correlation with clinical evaluations and research with a dose response mechanism where more publications equates to higher evaluation for research publications (not case studies).
You have a few minutes when the list is caught up, and you strike up a conversation. Next day, another attending comes on. You should have different mentors with different perspectives.
Depends on interests, aptitude, and time commitment
Incomplete list of people who have personally helped me with research here at Emory.
