I have been getting so many questions and DMs from brilliant unmatched urology applicants asking for help. As a response, I have created this document to offer advice for my colleagues navigating this horrific process. DMs are still open as well!

I shared something personal yesterday on LinkedIn
After 20 years as an orthopedic surgeon I began having panic attacks. It ultimately led to a mental health crisis and a diagnosis of major depression. I had to take a leave of absence to get help.
Why be so open & vulnerable?
Congrats to the uro applicants who matched! For those who didn’t, don’t give up! We have a great research opportunity in pediatric urology that provides full salary, amazing mentorship, and a great opportunity to strengthen credentials for a successful next match!
So happy to announce that I matched at @UTHSCUrology and will be moving to Memphis for at least the next 5 years. Love the state of Tennessee and am ecstatic to help serve its people. Thank you to everybody who helped me get here, especially after not matching last year
Congrats to those that matched yesterday! For those who have not, please consider our urology focused prelim year at @CU_Urology. This fantastic opportunity has given me and many others another chance in this awesome specialty. Feel free to DM me as well for any questions!
DMs are open for any #unmatchedurology applicants who received the terrible news yesterday. That was me two years ago. I would love to help if I can. Please reach out! There are so many amazing people in this community that would love to help you achieve your goals!

I learned today that I matched into Urology. I’m so relieved and excited. But in true Susan Cain fashion, I can’t escape the bittersweet of this moment knowing that so many of my colleagues got the worst news of their life today. #AUAMatch#Match2023#UroSoMe
Best of luck to all #uromatch applicants today. Remember many of us do not take the traditional route and go through many potholes to end up exactly where one belongs . But today is not a reflection of Your achievements. It just might be a pothole

Tomorrow is Match Day for Urology and for those who go unmatched like I did last year it can be a brutal day emotionally, all while trying to plan what the next steps are. To anyone who goes unmatched tomorrow please reach out if you want to talk about how you’re feeling…
Soon-to-be-interns, I have a piece of advice that has never failed: when you have a sick patient who needs a bunch of things done, plant yourself at a computer outside the patient’s room & don’t leave until the patient is better or transferred to ICU.
Very sad and sentimental that this incredible year is almost at its end. Thank you, @simon_p_kim and @BlueLakesRoad for being some of the best teachers and mentors! It has been the highest privilege to train at @CU_Urology this year!
