AAPM Student and Trainees Subcommittee’s Post

Calling all ACOM alumni! Did you know that many current students are searching for advice from someone just like you? Do you have special insight and answers to questions on topics like residency, audition rotations, and life after medical school? If so, then please consider participating in one of these upcoming alumni events. Check your email for more information or reach out to alumni@acom.edu

What is a residency? If you’ve heard the term residency before, you might assume that we’re only speaking to medical students. At SCU, a residency goes beyond the medical field. It’s a required period of in-person gathering, regardless of online or in-person modality - for ALL graduate programs. The goal of a residency at SCU is to cultivate culture, humanize your online classmates, and build community. 🌍🧑🤝🧑 For example: Q: “What are you looking forward to most about residency?” A: “As an online MATTC student coming in from Seattle, I’m excited to meet my classmates in person before working with them in group projects via Zoom!” A residency is an opportunity for SCU to bring all of the classmates from one graduate degree together, in one room, and give them the opportunity to meet each other in person before class sessions begin. SCU believes in the power of personal connections and community – our residency program is the product of this belief! There is so much uncharted territory when it comes to starting a new graduate degree. To shrink the unknown, your in-person residency is where the bond with your classmates will begin!

Here’s to a “great year in review” and a great 2024

According to recent National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) data, more resident physicians pursue fellowships annually. The decision is personal and requires careful consideration early on in training. Opting for additional training can enhance career opportunities and expertise.
