On Not Matching in Medicine Meaningful Medicine

*Trigger warning - this episode discusses suicide*

The Residency Match is one of the final hurdles medical students need to overcome in order to become a physician in the United States. Match Day is met with much anticipation by both medical students and programs. But what happens if a medical student doesn’t match? Andrés Calvillo shares his emotional journey of not fully matching and normalizes the discussion of what to do if you don’t match, as well as how to find community and resources for support.
