Residency admissions consulting firms help those who apply for residency to secure a residency position in the National Residency Matching Program(NRMP) residency match. It is paramount that residency applicants compose the best residency personal statement and residency application possible. The competition to obtain an excellent residency position is very high so usually applicants need expert help. There are several types of residency admissions consulting companies available but those which bring better results are the ones that concentrate only on medical applicants. Some of them are run by former residency admissions officers.

When hiring a company or individual you must consider that the more admissions background the a company or an individual has, the better the service you will get. If a person has worked at the associate residency director level or higher, they can provide you with some valuable insight about the possibilities of improving your residency personal statement, residency application, ERAS and how to behave during the residency interviews. When it comes to choosing a company, the best firms are composed of former residency admissions officers and professional writers/editors. 

Competition to obtain a residency position is especially difficult for Caribbean medical students as well as international medical graduates (IMGs). These applicants very often lack such important thing as guidance from their home schools so they certainly can get a benefit from a professional advice. 

How can these companies help?

Residency candidacy enhancement: The former residency admissions officers can help you to decide what letters of reference to obtain, in what rotations to participate and how your record can be improved. 

ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service): The Electronic Residency Application Service is a centralized program that transmits applications and all other necessary documents on behalf of the applicant to programs. ERAS® has a section offering students to write about their background and accomplishments. It is very important that these entries are well written and highlight your experiences in the best way for the specialty to which you apply. 

CV, or Curriculum Vitae : While ERAS now has an automatically generated CV, it is important to have your CV always updated and it should be well organized and wtitten correctly. 

Residency Interviews: Only a former residency admissions officer is aware the process from top to bottom, how applicants are ranked and they can definitely help applicants a lot in building their confidence. Practicing interview by doing mock interviews with experienced people is indispensable, as they are those who were taking part in evaluating and ranking the applicants. Former residency admissions officers know the questions that will be asked, how you better answer these questions and how you will be evaluated by the residency program directors. 

When you will be hiring professional residency admissions or editing firm, it is important to consider the credentials and experience of the individual with whom you will be working. You will benefit a lot more if you hire someone who has served in an associate residency position or higher. Be sure to take a look at references and read testimonials.
