Class of 2027

Specialty Information

December 05, 2025

Dear Class of 2027,

Thank you for completing your specialty interest surveys! This is a very exciting time.

We will connect those of you who have expressed 70%+ interest with your respective specialty advisors before winter break. These advisors will help advise you on away rotations, LORs, and residency application contents.

Those of you who remain undecided—that is OKAY! We still have time. And all of these advisors will be available to you as well. Please utilize the many resources available to help narrow down your choice.

Many more resources can be found on the Career Advising site.

You are welcome to meet with me and/or our team to further discuss career planning and scheduling until you have a selected a specialty and have that Faculty Specialty Advisor as a resource. The team can help with scheduling questions, and I am happy to discuss your specialty choice. Contact Taylor to schedule an appointment with me.

In the meantime, please review the Residency Success Plan and our specialty guides with specific information about each specialty and their requirements:

Happiest of Holidays to you all!

Your Career Advising Team
Dr. Rose, Mandy Garcia, Taylor Paramo, and Sam Lopez
