I'm a California native going to school in the mid-west trying to get back to the west coast. I wanted to know other people's experience with trying to do this same thing. I've heard from the residency programs that they pay no attention to where you went to school so that everyone gets the same opportunity, but wanted to know if there were any suggestions or tricks that people have used that helped them.
I'm well aware of the idea of doing an AI at the hospital where you'd eventually like to end up, the main purpose of this post was to hear about the experiences of other students in the same situation, and to find out anything in particular that helped them be successful.
Good luck to all those interviewing right now.
