The AMA Wire has compiled a brief list of the top articles for medical students.

Topics include how first year interns can "establish trust with resident supervisors," facts about how away electives affect your Match application, and tips for making "a successful transition to residency." 
 

in-House, an online magazine for medical residents and fellows, is accepting submissions for its monthly writing contest.  Each month, a piece based on a different theme will be featured.

From in-House: "Each month’s contest is associated with a monetary award and a dedicated biography on in-housestaff.org."

**Students- the in-Training online magazine is for you!
