After the NRMP residency match.

.

Your residency program will contact you, in a few weeks, with details on their intern orientation, ACLS course, Visa processing, and the state medical license application. The NRMP residency contract also needs to be signed by you and the residency program director. Most residency programs start their Intern orientation in the third week of June. You should be prepared to move to your new place by the second week of June.  This will give you adequate time to get used to the new city, furnish your apartment and get settled in. Network with the third year residents (PGY 3) to find out about specific apartments and houses. Remember that they are preparing to leave, and may be trying to sell their furniture and medical books. You can get a great deal on these, besides some free advice on your residency.
