Match Anxiety

I am very anxious about the Match…

I worked on my Rank List today and a flood of questions that come with it began running through my mind. The MAIN question that is killing me right now.

“How is this going to affect my family?” - My wife, my parents, sisters, my in-laws, my dogs? I have the most supportive system that wants me to go where I want but I can’t help but feel a load of responsibility.

Top 2 Factors going into my Rank List

1. Training - I have very specific training goals. Well-rounded, rigorous inpatient and OB training so I can be catapulted into an OB fellowship or even have C-section privileges in 3 years.

2. Location - I thought I didn’t care about this when I initially applied but after having 2 site visits this has jumped into the top. It also includes the cost of living and affordability of the area of training. It may not seem like a big deal but between student loans and housing costs, I don’t want to be pinching pennies.

I will be making a YouTube video soon talking about these so go check it out.

I’ll also be talking about student loans and my tentative plan to tackle these!

Email me back!

I had a few people email me back the last newsletter that was successful and some emails sent from people didn’t go through, so resend it! Topics people want me to talk about in the future so far would be OB and Sports Medicine Fellowships. Let me know if you see the picture. Last newsletter the pictures I inserted don’t seem to have made it through.
