Re: Residency Match Thread!
my husband matched last year for University of South Florida's physical med and rehab program. we're just getting through our first year. he's preparing for his step 3 right now.
good luck to everyone.

Re: Residency Match Thread!
I remember when my husband was doing the match interviews. Match is scary.

I think at most schools you do, especially after the match. at my school, you can essentially be off since january/february if you plan things right and take extra, seminar-type courses in the previous years. they have some weird ones too, like a hypnosis class and something called 'healer's art' where you wear tye-dye shirts and talk about your feelings. |

I think I would love the field, but I'm just not willing to make the sacrifices that go along with it.

Re: Residency Match Thread!
i could never be a surgeon. i think it takes a certain personality. some sort of daringness/guts..which i lack.. i'd be terrified of operating on someone..props to everyone who think they can do it. mA it must take a lot

Yeah, it's a huge lifestyle sacrifice for you and your family and you're in training forever (especially if you specialize). If you're not in love with surgery, maybe do radiology or something  |
