Being the first doctor in your family is interesting.
To them, you're a physician, surgeon, pharmacist, dentist, vet and sometimes even a miracle worker. All this rolled into one.
Every family gathering turns into a free clinic.
Got my last preceptor eval in and passed my last shelf exam--I'm officially done with med school coursework forever,
All that's left now is graduation and it can't come any sooner 😭🙏
It's been almost 24 hours and it still doesn't feel real that I matched my specialty choice- I'm so incredibly grateful and relieved that the hardest moments I experienced over these 4 years were worth it 🥹 #Match2026#EMbound
I'm a little more than 1/3 of the way through interviews now. My future as an EM resident (followed by EM attending) is looking brighter and brighter 🥹
@ntradsteminist This is exactly what happened on universal release day for EM last week lol, it took at least a couple hours for resCAS to work again..hopefully it's working for you now? 😅
If you're applying emergency medicine, compulsively check your email AND the residencyCAS interview portal!!
I've gotten 2 invites *without* email notifications despite my email settings
Lowkey thankful that residencyCAS applications don't get viewed by programs until Oct 1st, because I have a few more days to myself for unwinding instead of compulsively checking my email every minute of the hour
