Patrick is an optimistic, encouraging, and driven Family Medicine resident who quickly learned how to navigate the residency application process and competitively match into his #1 choice for residency! While Step 1 and preclinical coursework were not necessarily the highlight of his ERAS application, he was able to effectively highlight other components of his application, such as clinicals and extracurricular activities, so that residency programs would focus on those, landing him interview invites at over 90% of the 30+ programs he applied to (albeit, he probably applied to too many, but he can talk to you more about that!). He had a lot of great support and mentoring from peers at his own medical school, and is eager to continue sharing advice and counsel rising doctors so that they can match into the residency program of their dreams.

Patrick has already helped return the favor by leading talks at his school outlining advice for the application process and editing their personal statements. He is excited to help medical students with Med School Tutors to highlight the very BEST aspects of their applications. And one thing Patrick can most certainly guarantee – you will always find him smiling along the journey!
