How can you identify who would be a good mentor to start a longitudinal relationship with that can eventually help you match? I know 99% of the time it's an [unpaid] research fellowship that lasts about 3-5 years, then they write you a strong LOR and make phone calls on your behalf. But how can you identify those faculty?
I've heard of a different types of faculty that have used all their resources to successfully match past IMG students -- some are junior faculty, some are PDs, some are seniors. It just seems like there isn't that strong of a pattern to easily identify a mentor. And I'd hate to spend 3 years slaving away with someone to find out the politics don't work in my favor in the end.
