Ragda Izar’s Residency Rank List Template

Hi! My name is Ragda Izar, and I am a PGY3 psychiatry resident at UCLA.

Are you finding it hard to pick where you’re going to train for residency? You've come to the right place!

Introducing the ultimate Residency Rank List, the must-have tool for medical students to compare and evaluate their residency programs. This user-friendly Notion template is designed to help medical students make informed decisions about their future careers by evaluating programs based on criteria ranging from location and work-life balance to rotation schedule, salary, DEI initiatives and more.

Why did I create this?

During interview season, I found that transferring my notes from interview days to a clean table helped me see more clearly which programs aligned with what I did or did not want in a residency.

Here are a few notable highlights included in this product:

📑 A comprehensive ranking table to allow you to populate, compare and contrast different residency programs

❓A series of questions to ask current residents, program coordinators and yourself, to help you make an informed decision.

✏️ Please note, some of these criteria are Psychiatry-specific. Feel free to use the same ones if you're applying to psychiatry or change them if applying to a different specialty.

Best of luck, and congratulations for making it this far! ⭐️
