On September 1, the OAFP Foundation (Foundation) hosted its first virtual residency program meet and greet to connect medical students with Ohio family medicine residency programs. It was thrilling to have over 170 medical students register and 19 of Ohio’s family medicine residency programs participate!
- Hear from several Ohio residency programs to get an overview of the different types of programs the state offers
- Listen to a Q&A panel of current residents as they share their experiences researching residency programs, going through the virtual Match process, and becoming acquainted with residency life
- Connect with Ohio residency programs in a small group setting
- Receive a post-event email with each participating program’s contact information and residency materials.
Students greatly enjoyed the opportunity to connect with residency programs before starting the virtual interview season. Here is some of what they had to share:
“Love the online format–makes “touring the Ohio residencies” manageable. Wonderful that it is right before ERAS–able to connect with home state programs and will make us stand out.”
“Such an amazing program! I’m so happy I attended!”
“I truly appreciated the opportunity to participate in this event as a medical student in North Carolina with an interest in applying to Ohio programs. It was truly great to interact with program directors and current residents.”
“Loved every second and made great connections.”
