The specialties PHSU SOM students most commonly enter, based on the school's published match lists.
Three concrete moves we'll work through with you — calibrated to the specialties PHSU SOM students target.
Personal statement: anchor your story in the clinical training model and patient mix that defines PHSU SOM. Reviewers can tell when the school's culture is reflected in the writing — and when it's not.
Experiences section: prioritise the rotations, research, and service that signal the strongest fit for your target specialties — informed by what programs already know about PHSU SOM graduates.
Signal & program list strategy: balance reach, target, and safety programs based on where PHSU SOM candidates historically interview and match.
We'll pair you with a reviewer who's served on residency selection committees in your target specialty. Personal statement, experiences, and signal strategy — line-edited against the bar that program directors actually use.
