I’m applying for an L&D and mother-baby residency, which are dream specialties for me. Part of the reason I feel so drawn to them is because of my own personal experiences. As someone who has been on the other side of it I’m really passionate about maternal health. Is it a bad idea to mention this in a cover letter, though? If so, how else can I stand out and convey my interest without sounding generic?

I see there’s an upcoming recruitment event at Lincoln hospital. Does anyone have recent experience going to one of these? The flyer says experience preferred. Should I even try, or will I be turned away?
