Hospital Day Preparing for Residency

H ospital Day is a valuable time for VCOM’s third year medical students to meet residency program representatives and begin to process different options for residency. The event allows students to make connections and gather information pertaining to residency in various specialties. For second year students, it is an ideal opportunity to meet VCOM site coordinators and Directors of Student Medical Education (DSMEs) from VCOM’s clinical sites as they formulate an idea of where they would like to rotate during their third year of medical school.
