Had a great session with Student Doctor Rylee McGuire here in Peoria, Arizona. As a medical student Rylee is interested in osteopathic medicine, a distinct branch of medicine in the U.S. emphasizing the interrelated unity of all systems in the body, each working with the other to heal in times of illness. She has a calm easy demeanor and a fantastic smile, which makes me so happy for her future patients!
They will be in excellent hands.
A Student Doctor’s application headshot is one the most important photos of your career, it puts a face and shows attention to detail the evaluating doctors look for in your application. It’s not about how you physically ‘look’- it’s about the effort you took to get more than an easy snapshot on a phone. Your grades and work are most important obviously, but if the decision is between two applicants you have to consider anything that can give them reason to think twice about you. The fact that you took the extra step to obtain a professional, polished image, at your time and expense adds value to your application presentation!

Having a high-quality headshot when applying for a medical residency program is vital to being accepted.

“According to Forbes magazine, regardless of the business you are in, a blurry, low-quality or poorly cropped photo can convey sloppiness and a lack of attention to detail.
We realize that there’s absolutely no relationship between practicing medicine and having a good headshot, but many viewers equate a bad headshot to poor service, e.g. “if this doctor doesn’t care what his/her headshot looks like, why would they care about my problem?” A quality headshot makes a physician more personable. Patients want to relate to their doctors, which in turn fosters a sense of trust.”
