    SummaryYou graduate from medical school with dreams of beginning your residency, during which you will study and train within the specialty you love more than any other. While you may be book-smart at this point in your career, medical school does not teach you everything you need to know.

Here we discuss a few of the important things about residency that you'll need to know that they don't teach you in medical school.
