Residency advantages
Will programs be mostly accepting their own medical students into their residency programs? Will UCSF programs be doing so?
Answer
We don’t know the answer to this. We do think that the pandemic may make some students more interested in staying near their home base rather than moving to a new city—particularly if they haven’t had the chance to visit that city during interviews. We have seen that happen with faculty recruitments—people are craving stability and moving across country may not provide them with that. It would not be surprising to see that residency programs that start in 2021 may have a greater percentage of residents from their own region than in the past.
