Career Pathways Program

The Career Pathways Program is a four-year longitudinal program that helps students:

• Articulate their professional identity • Engage in continual self-assessment and reflection to select a medical specialty • Create a self-directed career resource identification plan • Enhance curriculum vitae, personal statement and engage in mock interviews

The match

An abundance of resources ensure our students make the best residency match possible. Geisinger Commonwealth’s collaborative coaching model is intensive and effective. The process begins in the first-year Orientation course and continues to evolve every year with a combination of centrally provided content and individual processing opportunities. As students progress, collaborative team meetings are held weekly to guide students through the application and interview season. National and institutional match data is used to ensure students successfully gain interviews and ultimately match to a residency program that best fits with their values, skills and attributes. Students receive strategic coaching regarding the application submission and alumni provide peer mentoring, as needed.
