<br />
Do residencies care about clinical experience or does it not matter because I'm going to spend 2 years in a hospital later anyways <br />
<br />
I have a fair amount of research experience with some publications. Just wanted to know whether residencies care about such things or what else I can do during my breaks to help myself (besides study for Step I) I started this past August at SGU<br />
<br />
Thanks</div>

But I have yet to hear from over 50 programs. I understand that not all programs will sent rejection emails, some will just ignore you. But come on, 50 something programs is ridiculous!! What should I do, guys ? Should I call the programs? Last 3 weeks, I have gotten 3 invites. So Is this the end of invites? Please shed some light. Thanks in advance.</div>

<br />
1-Does anyone know anyone who has interviewed or has any knowledge of the FM program at UMDNJ- Capital health at Fuld campus...<br />
2-Also are there any pros/cons for going to a residency interview pregnant. ( (I wouldn't think so but hey, I wasn't pregnant when I went on mine...)<br />
<br />
Thanks...</div>
