How to Address Application Overload for Residency Slots
Virtual interviewing has led to drastic increases in residency applications. Back in the day, a resident's willingness to get on a plane for an interview was a great filter. It turns out it still is, to some extent. Signaling helps, but the main filtering methods being used are still primarily geographic. The document for the next application cycle will be published next month.

Space Doctors, Now Polar Doctors
In residency interviews, one of the key attributes that directors usually look for is whether the resident has ties to the area. We all want residents who are going to stay after training. In Yellowknife, Canada, a small family medicine residency was opened in 2020 to attract and place physicians in Alberta and Nunavut. The goal was to have 50% of residents sign a three-year contract to stay in the north, and they are exceeding their goal. Retention and community placement are key reasons to operate a residency.
Other reasons to open a non-standard residency include the development of skills needed for different practice types. Space flight is becoming more routine at a rate that most don’t realize, and commercial employment in space is expected to boom. How to practice medicine, how to supply medical needs, and new types of conditions require new skills from physicians. Several schools and hospitals are now offering everything from advanced training programs to full residencies with a specialization in space medicine.

A truly excellent and engaging article on dealing with the uncertainties of medical diagnostics and treatment. What are sometimes treated as medical errors are often simply the uncertainties that surround any complex diagnosis. How do we communicate these to patients and family?
