If you want to connect with residents at the hospital of your choice and make your cv stick out...join askresident.com which has residents from several hospitals that answer your questions if you join their group...

.this back and forth is good b/c it promotes a legitimate site to help us medical students especially international medical graduates who are just as bit as competitive as american grads but hardly get their applications read twice...it allows them to get in touch with residents and promote their talents.....
