This. This. So much this.
Take a hard look at your application bc next yr will only get harder. Where can you improve? & if you’re a prelim or in a research spot- meet w/mentors EARLY about how to get the best letters moving forward. (IMO letters are the best thing to improve)
Man it really bothers me when people label certain specialty residency programs as “easy.” All it does is invalidate any mental/physical challenges trainees may have, and it’s just flat out wrong.
All the memories coming back from this time last year🥹. Please capture all of the moments through photos/videos- this big day will never happen again. You all should be so proud of yourselves. Enjoy your time off is my biggest advice! #MatchDay2024
I’ve made this commitment and I beg other match applicants who were also accepted in the main match to please help those going into soap/scramble/reapplication process. They need you more than ever. Any set of eyes, helpful info can help. They need us the most this week.
After helping 2 colleagues before & during each round of SOAP, my tips 3/2:
1. GET YOUR ALLIES IN ORDER. EVERYONE. Residents, faculty, attendings, chairs. You name it. If they can vouch for you, it builds a program’s attention and trust in you. #Match2024#soap2024
After helping 2 colleagues before & during each round of SOAP, my tips 2/2:
1. Once programs communicate with you- don’t be afraid to let them know your interest. ESPECIALLY, after a round where you don’t have an offer AND they have unfilled spot(s). #Match2024#soap2024
After helping 2 colleagues before & during each round of SOAP, my tips 1/2:
1. Be ready to talk about why you think you didn’t match. It sucks to talk about this so early, but get your thoughts in order. Be reflective. #Match2024#soap2024
i am praying for God’s covering and mercy over all 4th yr med students and reapplicants as they await tomorrow’s match news.
NO MATTER WHAT, you matter to us, to your family, to your friends and your life matters. no matter the outcome you are to be celebrated.
🙏🏽
Wishing every residency applicant, the absolute best for Match day! Remember that your profession is just part of what you do and not your entire identity. You got this!

I’m a v sentimental person and Match Day def has me in my feels - thinking about how much has changed since this day last year, how much I’ve learned, how much I love my program and my co-residents.
Class of 2024 I’m so excited for you!!
