On Psychiatry Residency: Ask Me Anything (AMA) Special Episode

In this special edition of On the Mind, host Dr. Daniel Knoepflmacher is joined by Dr. Johanna Inamagua and Dr. Michelle Zhou, first-year psychiatry residents at Weill Cornell Medicine, for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode geared toward medical students applying to psychiatry residency. Together, all three answer med student-submitted questions including how many programs to apply to, how to gauge competitiveness, how to research program culture and fit, what factors carry the most weight in a holistic review, and what makes for a strong personal statement, letter of recommendation, and interview. This episode offers practical, first-hand guidance for medical students navigating the psychiatry residency application process, drawing on the combined perspectives of a program director and residents who went through the match themselves.
