Residency Personal Statements

Picking up a competitive residency slot is about more than just where you'll spend the next few years; it’s about taking the first step to secure your future. Our personal statement services are designed to take the hassle out of the application process and maximize your chances of landing at one of your top choice programs.

Although most applicants are aware of how competitive the match process can be, very few know how to use their personal statement to enhance their overall presentation. Instead, the majority of new doctors use the statement as an opportunity to rehash their CV, summarize their med school training, and tack on an awkward paragraph or two about their specialty. In fact, most personal statements are so similar that they fail to impact a candidate’s chances one way or the other, reducing the applicant once again to a transcript, a resume, and a set of board scores.

At Flashpoint, we believe that a well written personal statement can do more than just complement the rest of your application. Working individually with a world class writer or editor, we’ll help you develop an overall admissions strategy and craft a personal statement that highlights your experience and abilities, a first rate piece of writing that works in conjunction with the rest of your application. We write and edit, but we also do a whole lot more. Our goal is to work with our clients individually to change the way they are seen by residency directors. We want you to stand out from the crowd.

Whether you are just getting started or you’re making a few tweaks to your final draft, we offer a package that can help you turn your personal statement from something good into something truly remarkable. Flashpoint is a company that specializes in meeting the needs of individuals. That’s why there’s no limit to the amount of interaction you can have with your writer or editor. It’s also why we don’t stop working until you’re satisfied.
