CiM is a career planning resource which uses a four-phase career development model:

Self-Assessment
You'll ask yourself the important questions: "Who am I?" "What do I like to do?" "What's really important in my work and life?" The goal of this phase is to achieve a greater understanding of yourself and to address the question: "What do I want to do in my medical career?"
Career Exploration
You'll explore the variety of specialties as well as the other career options available to you in the field of medicine. As you meet and talk with physicians in various specialties, you'll begin to learn about what physicians do in these areas, gaining a real-world perspective on their specialties.
Decision-Making
Once you've collected enough information on all of the possibilities, you will then compare what you have learned about yourself in the first phase with the information you've gathered about the specialties and other medical career options you're considering. CiM will then help you select a specialty you will pursue during residency.
Implementation
In this phase CiM will guide you through applying for and being accepted into a residency program. You'll find valuable information and tips about the residency application process (especially ERAS®), interviewing, and the Match, along with things to consider in completing medical school and beginning residency. See AAMC Charting Outcomes in the Match for an overview of the 2005 Match with detailed data by specialty on applicants

Careers in Medicine is a circular program. As you complete different aspects of the program and are exposed to different educational experiences, we encourage you to reassess yourself using any and all of the tools available in the program.
