Residency Fair

It is never too early to see what is in store for us

beyond graduati9n from OCPM. The residency fair

allows us to do just that. As residency programs

convert to the new PM&S 24/36 formats, personal

interaction with residency directors allows students

access to the most current information. Residents are

also willing to share their personal experiences and

helpful insight. Even with-these valuable resources, ..-~

choosing the "right" residency is a challenging task. It

is insp{rational to note that there are so ma,ny people _

who care to help us make informed decisions regarding ~

the next step in our training. Thank you to all wh9 ·

helped orchestrate the fair. Thank you for arranging

the school and clinic schedules to allow the students -\,.
~ho ~ttended
time to meet wit-h the programs die fair.
