Helpful Tips and Tricks

[Shelley Fang]

Good morning Psychminded members!

We hope you all are managing to stay cool this very hot Houston summer. Attached, please find a helpful document that gives great advice regarding how to get involved in psychiatry as a medical student and things you should be thinking about/striving for at various points of your training. Hopefully, you all can get some helpful tips and tricks from it!

Additionally - this Fall we will start piloting a formal buddy system within Psychminded to help hook up interested MS1s and 2s with MS3s and 4s with the hopes of better being able to guide everyone interested in psychiatry via a formal mentorship program! If you're interested, please keep an eye on your emails for that as we will solicit interest after the MS1s arrive.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our presidents Shelley Fang and Anastasia Grieb at shelle...@bcm.edu and anastas...@bcm.edu.

Thanks!

Your Psychminded Officers
