Careers in Medicine (CiM) is a career planning program designed
to help you choose a medical specialty and select and apply to a residency
program. This four-phase process will guide you through the elements of
career planning, including self-understanding, exploring a variety of
medical careers, and finally choosing a specialty to meet your career
objectives. People whose choice of careers matches their values, skills
and interests tend to be more satisfied and successful in their working
lives. This is also true of selecting a specialty. More >>
