I'm at the end of my P1 year and so far have a great GPA and am interested in a hospital residency. However, I know GPA is not the most important factor of getting a residency. I currently am not involved in any clubs on campus and do not have any work experience. I've applied to a couple hospitals for intern/technician positions and hope to start at one of them in the next couple months. Other than keeping my GPA high and getting work experience what other suggestions could you guys make? I've heard doing research early in school rather than saving it all for your P3 year is smart and that research is vital for obtaining a residency.
