About

Welcome! The intent of the 21st Biennial Residency Symposium is to educate medical students on how to apply and interview for residencies, go through the matching process, and explore different specialties within medicine. The Residency Symposium offers students crucial information about their futures in medicine, which they do not receive as part of the traditional medical school curriculum. We are excited to welcome a variety of remarkable speakers who will provide invaluable insight on the next stage of our education as future physicians.
