Before medical school, Dr. Ruelle earned a degree in anatomy & cell biology with a minor in Mandarin from McGill University. During her tenure at Hofstra/Northwell, she held multiple leadership roles in various clubs (LMSA, Medical French, Global Health), was a medical Spanish instructor to her peers, conducted clinical research in neurosurgery and diagnostic and interventional radiology, earned a certificate of special proficiency in point-of-care ultrasound. She also traveled to Uganda for a global health experience before graduation.
Passionate about helping medical students, Dr. Ruelle has mentored several students applying for diagnostic radiology residencies. Her insight into the process, combined with her diverse experiences and academic prowess, make her an exceptional counselor for those seeking guidance in achieving their residency goals. Additionally, she successfully couples-matched with her partner and can provide a lot of insight into the process.
Over the years, Dr. Ruelle has accumulated extensive tutoring and mentoring experience, particularly throughout medical school. She has successfully proofread many essays. She is particularly proud of one student she assisted who was then accepted into her alma mater's medical school with a scholarship. Last year, she supported numerous students through the residency application process, providing critical proofreading and guidance, especially for students who were undergoing the couples match.
What sets Dr. Ruelle apart as a consultant is her international background, successful match into a very competitive transitional year and diagnostic radiology program, and expertise in navigating the couples match successfully (She was able to couples match outside of her geographical area). She is dedicated to going the extra mile for students, ensuring personalized and effective guidance throughout the entire session.
As a counselor, Dr. Ruelle's greatest strengths lie in her meticulous attention to detail—she always double-checks everything to ensure accuracy. She is committed to going above and beyond for students, tailoring her approach to their strengths and weaknesses in their residency applications. Her flexibility allows her to adapt seamlessly to each student's needs.
