Many students dedicate a full block, such as block 1, to focus on studying. Plan to take ANES 401-AI at UNC anytime between blocks 1 and 6, which will allow enough time to request a letter of recommendation. While blocks 1-4 appear on your transcript, blocks 5-6 are also acceptable for obtaining LORs, with a transcript addendum if needed. To interact with anesthesia critical care faculty, consider the CTCCU rotation (MED 420), or for exposure to pain specialists, ANES 409 (pain management). Both rotations offer opportunities for LORs. Away rotations through VSAS and the Asheville VA anesthesia rotation are also excellent options for gaining experience and securing additional LORs.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended Courses:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">AI\/Acting Internship: ANES 401 (UNC Anesthesia AI), ANES 401 should be considered a requirement for all UNC medical students applying to anesthesia.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">CC\/Critical Care: In order of exposure to anesthesia CC faculty: MED 420 CTICU, SURY 422 SICU, MED 449 MICU, NEUR 408 NSICU, PEDS 419 PICU.

A strong applicant typically has an excellent academic record, with high clerkship grades\u2014ideally mostly honors. The USMLE Step 2 CK score is also important. Aim for a minimum score of 240. According to Charting Outcomes in the Match, the average for matched applicants is around 252. Demonstrating an interest in anesthesiology through activities like shadowing, joining anesthesia-related student groups, or participating in anesthesia research shows commitment to the field. The average matched applicant has about three research experiences, which don\u2019t all have to be in anesthesiology. Commons options for research include summer projects after first year, case reports, or review articles. However, research is generally less important than grades and the Step 2 score. Strong letters of recommendation, whether from anesthesiologists or other mentors who know you well, can also really support your application.<br \/>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n
