We have also helped both daughters apply to medical schools and residencies and probably have useful information about the process.

We stayed here and raised our children here because we love the area and the people of WNY. -Elaine Schaaf

I completed my medical degree in 2001 still undecided in a speciality. I matched in a transitional year internship at Akron General Hospital (outside Cleveland Ohio) which allowed me to rotate through Surgical, Emergency Medicine and Anesthesiology rotations as a resident to help me decide on my final Speciality- Anesthesiology. I then went outside the match for my residency applications and took a position at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas where I completed my training in 2006. I then completed a year of speciality fellowship training in pediatric anesthesiology at Washington University in St Louis/ St Louis Children's Hospital before returning to Houston in 2007. I currently work as a pediatric anesthesiologist in an academic department at Texas Children's Hospital/ Baylor College of Medicine. -Katrin Campbell
It's very stressful and expensive deciding on a specialty, planning Sub I, interviewing. Ortho is also very competitive and it's hard to know which programs to focus on.

It's fun, I like to be of service! -Roy Vongtama
I recall how expensive it was when applying to residency and flying all over the country for interviews (especially in dermatology where you have to apply broadly) and there is no extra money in your funds as a medical student to try to pay for all of this. It was through the kindness of family and friends and colleagues that I was able to keep the expenses slightly lower. I would like to help offset some of the costs for students by offering them my guest bedroom for the nights surrounding their interviews. Showing them around Minneapolis and St. Paul would also help them better decide if this city is a good fit for them. -Sara Hylwa-Deufel
Giving back to an institution that was instrumental in helping me achieve my goals!! -Shereene Brown
