We Matched

Today is "Black Monday." At 12pm every medical student across the nation found out whether or not they matched into their specialty. We matched! We don't know where we are going, but we know we are going somewhere.

If you don't match, then you have to scramble. This involves calling every open slot around the country to try to convince them to take you. This year there are 2 open slots in orthopedics in which 500-600 people will be competing for. The other options are to do a year of research or a prelim year of general surgery and re-enter the match process next year.

We are thankful to have matched, and are excited to find out Thursday where we are going!
