Medical Residency & Fellowships Coaching, Events, & Resources

I'm an incoming radiology fellow at Harvard, and a current PGY5 radiology resident at the University of Alberta. I interviewed at 100% of the English-speaking radiology residency programs in Canada during the residency match. My fellowship interviews included Harvard and Stanford. Additionally, I have served as an Admissions Committee Assessor at Dalhousie and the University of Calgary, giving me an insider’s view of the rubrics used to grade top-tier candidates. I specialize in the Canada-to-US bridge and provide comprehensive, high-touch architecture for medical school, residency, and fellowship applications—from program selection and CASPer mastery to elite interview preparation.

As a board-certified physician with 17+ years of advising experience, I bring both real-world clinical insight and a deep understanding of what residency programs are truly looking for. I’ve successfully guided students and applicants across multiple specialties—including Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Peds, and OB/GYN—helping them craft compelling applications, refine their personal narratives, and strategically position themselves for success. My approach goes beyond surface-level edits; I focus on aligning your experiences, letters, and interview performance into a cohesive, standout story. What sets me apart is my expertise in working with applicants who may feel at a disadvantage—whether due to lower scores, gaps, or reapplication status. I specialize in identifying and reframing “red flags” into strengths, helping you present your journey with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. From ERAS strategy to interview preparation, I provide honest, personalized guidance so you can approach the match process with a clear plan and a competitive edge.

I bring both firsthand success and a proven track record of mentorship to residency advising. I matched into University of Pennsylvania’s integrated plastic surgery program, which is widely regarded as one of the most competitive plastics programs in the country, and received interview invitations from 90% of the programs I applied to. Beyond my own application, I have mentored students who have successfully matched into highly competitive specialties including orthopedic surgery, urology, dermatology, and anesthesiology. Through this experience, I have developed a precise understanding of how to navigate application strategy, including building a cohesive narrative, optimizing school lists, timing applications effectively, and positioning candidates to maximize their chances at top programs.

I am interested in helping guide aspiring Pre-med and medical students through the admissions/application process. My journey includes completing my MD at Tel Aviv University, Internal Medicine residency at UConn, Chief Resident at Greenwich Hospital, and currently as a Gastroenterology Fellow at Rochester Regional Health. I have also obtained a graduate certificate from UConn in health professions education while in residency. Moreover, I have worked with students, residents, and peers helping them navigate the complexities of both medical school and residency/fellowship applications and interviews; in addition to helping tutor for the USMLE and ABIM exams.
