So for fellows/sports docs, what types of things can we be doing to set ourselves up for success as a resident.
-How important is attending the AMSSM confrence? Does it really make or break an application? Taking leave for confrences is difficult in my residency, the military had really tightened down on CME.
-how important is event coverage? Are some fellowships lighter on events?
-how important are publications? After some programs more academic than others or is scholarly activity pretty standard at most fellowships?
-audition rotations. Is it common to take elective time during residency to go rotate at places youre interested, or is that more of a med stud thing?
-other stuff...does anyone care about board scores anymore? 3 lors from sports docs or 2 from sports and one from your pd? Do they care about stuff like being chief, volunteering, etc.
