Sending love to anyone who didn’t match in Phase 1 of APPIC today! Not matching is not a reflection of your brilliance or worth. You WILL become a doctor 🙏🏽❤️

Shout out to the clinical psych applicants who did not match in phase 1. When I applied for internship, I did not match in phase 1 either and it felt devastating. Not matching in phase 1 is not a reflection of your potential in this field.

Suicide prevention is complex. Suicide isn’t like a virus where you can easily identify the cause, then deliver a vaccine.

It hurts, too, when suicide prevention efforts aren’t properly studied, implemented, or funded.
