Ram’s Medical Residency & Fellowships Qualifications
10+ people coached for Medical Residency & Fellowships
Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in medical education and admissions, I am here to guide you through the complexities of medical residency and fellowship applications. As a Medical School Admissions Advisor at MedSchoolCoach, I've helped numerous pre-medical students optimize their applications, refine their essays, and excel in mock interviews. My experience as a Fellow and Instructor in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine, combined with my role as an Acting Assistant Professor at the University of Washington, equips me with the insights needed to help you stand out in competitive residency and fellowship programs. I have interviewed applicants for medical school, residency, and fellowship and have been active member of rank list committee meetings. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that showcases your unique strengths and potential. Reach out to start your journey towards a successful medical career!
