“…Although there is little substitute for direct mentoring by radiologists (22,23), other mechanisms to increase exposure to radiology may also be effective. These could include web-based vehicles like the Association of American Medical Colleges Careers in Medicine website (24,25), social media, radiology interest groups, and radiology expositions. Some limitations to the programs included the small number of participants, self-selected students, the regional nature of the event, and lack of easy public transport to the site.…”

“…반면 국외 연구에서는 의과대학생들의 진로에 대한 선호도나 선 택과 관련된 요인에 대해 국가 단위의 설문조사를 통해 조사하거 나 (Lefevre et al, 2010), 시간에 따른 변화를 파악하는 등 (Svirko et al, 2013) 다양하게 접근한 연구들이 많았다. 또한 미국의과대학협 회(Association of American Medical Colleges)에서는 Careers in Medicine (CiM)이라는 프로그램을 제공하고 있으며, 미국의 의과 대학들은 CiM을 각 대학의 특성에 맞춰 운영하고 그 결과를 발표 하고 있다 (Sweeney et al, 2012;Zink et al, 2007)…”

Medical students can choose to pursue any of a large number of specialties. This diversity reflects exciting opportunities, yet it also present significant challenges, such as providing medical students with adequate resources and guidance to help them to make informed career decisions. Additionally, because the medical internship will be abolished in the near future, many Korean medical schools have recently focused on implementing a career planning and advising program. This paper describes the Careers in Medicine (CiM) program offered by the Association of American Medical Colleges as a framework for other schools to adopt or adapt as they consider the best ways to address the career counseling needs of their own students. CiM is a comprehensive career planning program that provides students with the skills, information, and resources to choose a specialty and residency program that meets their career goals. CiM follows a four-year, four-step career planning process including self-understanding, exploring a variety of medical careers, and finally choosing a specialty. The CiM program has been evaluated as successful because of widespread participation and positive feedback from medical students. The information in this study can be used to develop a formal career advising program throughout the four years of medical school.

The imbalance resulting from an increasing number of medical school graduates combined with a relatively stable number of residency spots is creating a challenge for U.S. medical students attempting to secure postgraduate residency training. This trend increases the stakes for medical students in their applications to residency training programs and places much higher importance on performing effectively during residency interviews. With little to no formal training in interviewing skills, U.S. medical school graduates may be ill prepared to face challenges presented during both formal and informal residency interviews. In order to better prepare fourth-year medical students at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, faculty mentors constructed and implemented a comprehensive residency interview practice performance initiative entitled BMock Interviews^. The mentors enlisted available faculty from within the learning communities to conduct these interviews and provide immediate feedback to students in advance of their actual residency interviews.Collected data show that this program has been progressively well received and quite successful in helping students achieve an increased level of perceived preparedness in their residency interviews. Requiring minimal cost and little infrastructure, and utilizing available resources within most medical schools, this program appears to serve as a logical next step in the training of medical students for securing postgraduate residency spots.
