This week, I sat down with Dr. Delaney Bieber, DO and we talked about mentorship in undergrad vs in medical school as students without family ties to medicine. We muse over how AWFUL premed advisors can be, even if they have good intentions. We discuss how stressful it can be during third year with the pressure to pick a specialty, so we give some advice on how to ask for guidance, some ways to get extra experience without a formal rotation, and more. Then we dive into Delaney’s journey during her 4th year with only 3 interviews, but *spoiler alert* she still managed to match her #1! We speculate about the supplemental ERAS application and program signaling towards the end, which is full of important information for any third or fourth year medical student!

Dr. Bieber's final rec: OBGYNstudent.com, which is helpful for anyone in an OBGYN clinical rotation
