Match Day Testimonials

I am glad I finally have a name and place to put into my dreams of life as a resident.

The first thing I remember thinking is how excited I was to spend three years learning from the amazing faculty, residents, and staff I grew to admire during rotations.

I have to admit that the uncertainty made me nervous. Definitely a lot of anxious feelings and adrenaline pumping.

My reactions were: disbelief, relief, and the most happiness I’ve ever felt in my life (in that order).

I think it was essentially the first and last anxiously anticipated release of anything in medical school that is of real substance – i.e. not just a grade or a number.

My advice would be to just allow yourself the patience and kindness to feel whatever emotion that comes upon you without judgement because it’s such a life-changing event.
