​​The residency match journey is a long process where one has to deal with multiple things in order to apply.

It begins with one of the most important elements:- The step examinations.

Even when the students are preparing for the examinations, there is always a big question in their mind:-

How to get clinical experience ?
 
Since the last many years, the opportunities to get clinical experience in different fields have increased. But with the COVID-19 pandemic, the story has been different. There have been travel restrictions for long durations, due to which students can’t get in-person clinical experience and without that they certainly would feel that an important part of their application is missing.

So what’s the next best option ?
 
Answer is TeleRotations.

There are many questions which come up like:- are they useful, how to learn patient interaction and many more.

Here is an insight and few tips on how TeleRotations can improve your profile?

  • Consider these TeleRotations as a tool to understand the US healthcare system. Set up some goals regarding what you want to learn throughout this period
  • TeleRotations provide a great opportunity to directly interact with the Physicians and make sure you learn how to communicate effectively. This helps you gain confidence especially during interviews where you are talking with Program directors, attending as well as the residents.
  • Many TeleRotations also provide learning opportunities like how to take patient notes, using the EMR system, and case presentations. These are exactly the things which an applicant should be learning before applying.
  • Letter of recommendation:- Perhaps the most important aspect is getting a good evaluation based on your performance. Make sure you participate actively in different tasks and make a good impression with the knowledge you possess. It is very crucial to have a positive mindset and approach that can help you present yourself to the physician in a good manner.
  • Lastly, the CV:- While preparing your CV, pay special attention to the content of your experience. The things you learn during the TeleRotations should be presented in an organized manner. The reviewers should feel that the applicant has used this opportunity to his/her benefit and understands the US healthcare system.
 
To conclude, the applicants who can’t travel due to restrictions and lack clinical experience, TeleRotations are your next best step. Make sure you use them to your benefit. Good luck to everyone out there.
