Understanding Yourself
Self-assessment or understanding yourself is the process of gathering and understanding information about yourself. Ultimately, the knowledge you gain can help you get more out of your clerkship opportunities and allow you to present yourself more confidently in residency interviews. To understand yourself is the first step in the career development process. During this phase it's important to evaluate your interests, values, environmental factors and practice needs, your personality type, and your educational experiences.
