The duality of being an immigrant - yesterday I matched into my top choice Obgyn residency. Today I'm waiting tables at our restaurant.

[Inara Ismailova, MD MPH @InaraIsmailova]

USMLE- if you just want the money, I'd rather pay the 1k to get my license than have to waste my time/pride sitting through this exam

[Inara Ismailova, MD MPH @InaraIsmailova]

Quite honestly not sure why step 3 is even a thing. I'm an OB resident who does 0 off service rotations, my last "medicine" rotation was in 2021... Why am I out here answering questions about aortic dissection and BPH? Remind me how that makes me a better doctor for MY patients?

Unfortunately I still remain #UNMATCHED after #SOAP2023. I am an MS4 US-IMG interested in Ob-Gyn looking for any position in TY, prelims in SG or IM, and research. Any advice is welcomed and greatly appreciated🙏🏻 @Inside_TheMatch #MedTwitter #Match2023 #obgyntwitter #NeverGiveUp

[Marie Blanca Esquilín Martí @Mbesquilin]

Currently looking for OB/GYN research opportunities for this upcoming year. Any recommendations for where I can apply or guidance I would profoundly appreciate it. Please RT to spread the word. #obgyntwitter #unmatched #Match2023 #SOAP2023 #LatinasInMedicine #Research #MedTwitter

Trying my best to ignore the radio silence of #SOAP2023 and keeping the faith strong!

[Naglaa Ghobriel @GhobrielNaglaa]

I am so much disappointing.
I did put a lot into this journey so I could start residency training this year and I guess my big question is what next?
All the same, this does not define who I am and I’m keeping hope alive. You should too. #unmatched #match2023

[Abiodun Oladimeji @bookey_31]

Unfortunately, I went unmatched. I’m truly grateful for all the support I got from this community and I know this is just a temporary setback. Huge congrats to all who matched! I’ll appreciate any tips or advice. Thanks! #PathTwitter #PathMatch2023

[Ramie Fathy @ramiefathy]

If you’re a derm applicant who didn’t match this cycle, feel free to reach out. I was in your position two years (and matched derm last cycle to @JohnsHopkins) ago and am happy to chat/advise/help process.

[Justin Grant, MD @justinkgrant]

Grateful to have matched to intern year, but unfortunately went #unmatched in Radiology. Completely committed to becoming a #radres and ready to spend this year strengthening my app! Open to all connections/advice/mentorship/success stories. #Match2023

[Shelbie Waddle DO, MS^2 (she/her) @shelbi3k]

To those who went #UNMATCHED yesterday, just know there’s a way forward. I didn’t match in OBGYN.. but found my passion in general surgery and now am between my PGY2 and PGY3 year. #nrmpmatch #match2023

Being an IMG myself and been through unmatching to finally making it to chief resident at Wayne state, I would be happy to share my experiences and guide in any way. It’s a very stressful time but definitely not the end of road for all you brilliant people out there 🙌

[Neharika Shrestha @aurorab40617517]

Congratulations to all the match applicants that matched. Unfortunately I didn’t match but I am still hopeful. Here’s to not loosing hope.
I would really appreciate any guidance from seniors, mentors and colleagues about #SOAP2023 and the journey ahead. #Img #UNMATCHED #MATCH2023

[Sarang Choi, MD, MBA @smileysarang]

Didn’t know SOAP week can be so emotionally challenging… I guess I would not have known if I wasn’t placed in this position. Still fighting hard regardless. #SOAP2023 #Match2023 #MedTwitter

[Liz McKinney (they/she) @LizMcKinney23]

1 of many surgeons-to-be who went unmatched Mon. Family, friends, & mentors have all reached out, and I love every one of you! Anyone who sees my app- I pray you see my passion for surgery and my strength of character. I hope to hear from more programs today #GenSurgMatch2023

[Aysel Al Issa @issa_aysel]

The only thing i'm gonna say...

I am not giving up on becoming a general surgeon.

[Nimisha Gawde, MBBS @NimishaGawde]

Unfortunately, I did not match in ObGyn in #Match2023 but I'm participating in #SOAP2023. I really appreciate any advice or tips for the process.
Also, Congratulations to all the matched applicants.

Went Unmatched for a second time yesterday, but the little girl who grew up in the projects of South Phoenix, AZ will BE A SURGEON. The journey continues for her and for the sacrifices an immigrant single mother made so that I could be here today #UNMATCHED #SOAP2023 #Match2023

[Nabiha B. Musavi @nabihamusavi]

Unfortunately, I didn't match. Working on SOAP apps & trying my best. If anyone has any advice, we'd highly value your input & support. For anyone who needs any support, I'm here for you. Be gentle with yourself🌿#unmatchedMD #SOAP2023 #match2023 #InsidetheMatch #MatchMadness
