Are you ready for residency?

The purpose of this panel is to provide attendees insight into how to best prepare for medical residency. We will have a panel of physicians representing transitional year, neurology, and general surgery, as well as a program director. There will be time for a Q&A session at the end, so we encourage you to bring your questions!
