Navigating the Match
COVID-19 has created new challenges for medical students applying during the 2023-2024 application season. The link below for the CORD website will be helpful to students and EM advisers in providing guidance for all things related to the SLOE and will allow you to better navigate the interview trail.
The Council of Residency Directors (CORD) in emergency medicine has compiled resources for medical students interested in the field of emergency medicine. These guides range from initial resources as a MS1 to planning the MS4th-year rotations and how to navigate the application and match processes. They are meant to supplement the support provided by the students’ medical school adviser.
Topics included are the following:
Planning the MS years from your first year to 4EM rotations – where and how many you should have
SLOEs and letters of recommendation
Applicant types – IMG, military, couples
