Cover Sheet Grand Rounds Schedule 2007 Match Results | The Feinberg School of Medicine supports a career development program for all M1 through M4 students. This program allows students to participate in the AAMC Careers in Medicine (CiM) program, which is a Web-based medical student career planning site. In addition to the CiM program, we provide career courses and seminars as well as a comprehensive advising program. Beginning in the M1 and M2 years, students can learn about medical specialty careers by attending specialty interest group programs, attending brown bag lunches introducing physicians from a variety of specialties, or attending grand rounds through the Northwestern Memorial Healthcare System. M3 students are introduced to a comprehensive systematic approach to the processing of specialty information during the year-long Interdisciplinary Medicine (IDM) course. During the M3 year, the IDM Career Development unit helps students: learn to navigate the Careers in Medicine Web-based program take opportunities for self-assessment, including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - receive guidance in the processes of networking, informational interviewing, requesting letters of recommendation
- gain knowledge regarding the residency match process and the characteristics of residency programs
