Friends who matched.
I'm in the looking for a postdoc radiology research position,
Completed USMLE Step 1 & Step 2 CK.
If anyone knows opportunities or openings, I'd appreciate the connection.
Retweets are much appreciated.

I’m disappointed to announce that I did not match to neurological surgery. Delayed does not mean denied. I have faced adversity before. I refuse to let this define me. That said, I am seeking a US preliminary surgery position and will work tirelessly, if given the opportunity. ✊🏽
So much effort reflected in this paper, it takes a village 🫶🏼
Currently working on my #obgyn interviews but all the victories deserved to be celebrated
