Today is match day. Baby docs get to find out which residency they landed. Yesterday was the scramble for those who didn't match. Reading their posts

is just tragic.

I hear our school had a good match year.

(This past Mon you found out if you matched (don't know where, just yes or no). Then Tues is the scramble for those who didn't match. Scary!.)

Why tragic? They are still pretty much guaranteed to get a residency *somewhere*, right? -- nm - psilotum Mar 17, 23:09 6
- Not really. Plus, all the residencies in the specialty you want may be full (or only have a few spots left). Nobody wants to end up in a specialty - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 17, 23:15 5
  - Sounds like my initial assessment is still pretty much right. - psilotum Mar 17, 23:20 4
    - Well, yes there is plenty of family medicine residencies around (undesirable locations, programs). Not everyone wants to settle for family med. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 17, 23:23 3
      - like Family Med is such a tragedy. ;P -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 06:14
      - i totally get what you're saying, but it's a little unnerving b/c we need more family meds and PCPs than specialists. -- nm - TFox Mar 18, 05:46
      - Yeah. I understand. -- nm - psilotum Mar 17, 23:25
there is more then one baby doc? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 23:05 1
- No. -- nm - Papa Doc Mar 17, 23:06
