Ignore that. Even if it’s real, there’s no helping that person for multiple reasons.

MD & DO co'21 Residency Panic thread

Guys. Our schools have known for hours. Our programs know now too.
😱😱😱😱😱😱

@drplzz Why would it be inappropriate? This is clearly not real and others may as well fall for this. In the extremely remote possibility this may be real, this should have been asked publicly (as it is often done).

Any idea where you'll be going? I'm shooting for IM as well but ended up ranking other specialties. Any would be awesome, really.
Based on that account's post history, they were already in a cat IM position but trying to soap into rads in 2014... I dunno what their motives are but its completely fishy
did not know that's what that symbol meant. i meant "no" as in don't respond. my bad! removed it!
The programs know??

Yep. And our schools have since this morning
isn't it great that the people it affects the least get to know first?
But muh tradition
@valuat DM'd you
I did the UBox for rotations and will do it again for residency. Saved me a lot of headaches. I am likely going to have to somehow ship my vehicle or do a straight shot drive after my wedding, which stresses me a little bit but I'm still a 3rd year so I have time to figure that **** out.
Depending on where you're going (and how the pandemic's going in regards to shared transit), there are also trains that can take your car! I took one from VA to FL for med school, and packed my car completely full of all of my belongings so I didn't have to ship those separately. I wasn't moving any furniture though. It was a long train ride but i splurged on a sleeper car and it was so much more pleasant than making the drive solo.

Yup. And my program is very pleased with our list.
Yeah this made it WAY more real for me. My post match excitement has changed to post match anxiety AND excitement.
Me too!
That’s awesome! I hope my program does that, no matter which one I get!
Just a heads up to the others, most car shipping companies don’t let you have anything in your car.
I like the thought, but I'm nervous about my first call with the PD being when I'm a bit... celebratory
I missed mine last year D:I like the thought, but I'm nervous about my first call with the PD being when I'm a bit... celebratory
My PD also does that too. It's a nice touch. I don't know anything about how my program matched because this is my vacation week and I've completely disconnected from all things residency this week. haha
Good luck to everyone tomorrow! Hope you all get into your top choices!
None of it really feels real to you get that white coat with your name and degree embroidered on it...
...followed by that amazing feeling of getting ushered into that auditorium with your fellow interns as you sit and listen to a 8 hour presentation on HIPAA violations and what occupational health does.
Only then do you really feel what doctoring is like.

Im 9 months in and ive worn it once for a meeting thingie where the guy running it makes a big deal about white coats lol
I loved it for the pockets and the warmth it provided at 2:30 am as you ponder your life choices whilst you write another cream for some sort of rash that the night shift nurse discovered on their one assessment of the patient. Trust me, writing pointless orders is much better warm than freezing your butt off when your endogenous cortisol hits rock bottom at the wee hours of the morning.
Did your program tell you already? I'm so jealous, I know we filled but they won't tell us who until the evening of Match day!
That’s what the patagucci is for.
I don’t wear Gucci on the wards... hard to get the vomit out.
But no, there was no patagonia when I was an intern. Only “Members Only” jackets.

No, we dont know the who! Just that theyre happy and matched well on their ROL
I own many jackets for the wards lol ef the white coat. Fleece is warmer
yeah this train is meant more for people traveling WITH their cars, so they specifically advertise that you can "pack your car like a suitcase"... so I took that liberally lol. I definitely wouldn't do that for normal car shipping
Talking to drunk partying interns-to-be is my fav part of the year.
"Wah, who ish thiss? Iss so loud here I can't hear you? Dr who? WAIT, MY NEW BOSS?" Then, mic covered but still audible "I'm so dead"
Guys, aside from opening step 1 scores and the email on Monday this is the most nervous I've been in med school by far. What a weird feeling. It just hit me. I have a job lined up and genuinely and actively like almost every program on my list and yet I'm still nervous due to the unknown.
This process on paper reads like a terrible novel. This process in real life is indescribable.
Hold me bbys

A little over 12 hours from finding out!
I was surprisingly fine all week and now I’m more stressed than I’ve ever been. I’d rather go through waiting for step 1 5 times than do this wait ever again. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!
How are we all doing?
I a long way from falling asleep. Might be a long night

I do not feel sleepy yet 😅
I’ve done the long distance moves several ways including full service moving companies and U-Haul rentals. The most pleasant by far was Atlas Van Lines. It took a lot of stress out of it. I packed some of the smaller crap myself and let them handle everything else. I also appreciated carrying exactly zero boxes anywhere during the initial pack or when my stuff was getting moved into my new place, and I appreciated that my contribution during the actual transportation process itself was just showing up with the keys.
It’s like half off if you’re a AAA member, which is pretty cheap to join (~$70/year I think). It was a little over $2k for a ~800 mile move with them in 2014 for the contents of a two bedroom apartment (paid for by the company I was going to work for, which was nice). Original quote was near $5k before the AAA discount. For the record, that was not for a full pack. That costs a whole lot more.
I would especially recommend this if you’re getting moving expenses reimbursement from your fancy new job. Max it out, homes. Residency salary sucks for the number of hours you’re putting in and the work you’re going to be doing, so don’t feel bad.

I've been up most of the night and now I'm also tipsy. which has made this process a whole lot better tbh would recommend lol
I’m curious if some programs have relocation expense reimbursements. Some of my previous jobs had that up to a few grand . My wife and I are planning on throwing away/ selling a lot of stuff because it is close to end of life anyway furniture is sagging has rips etc . This is provided we have to move greater than 500 miles away. Living in what is essentially poverty for then past 4 years makes me feel less terrible about doing this considering we did not make any large purchases in something like a decade .
Also do we just get an email today around noon ? Or do programs tend to call the matches? I hope I don’t have to FaceTime or something like that .

Some do
I imagine you’ll get your email before any PD calls you.
we get an email. Some PDs apparently call
I’ve only seen it with my prelims/TYs. Biggest was 5k.
This is my favorite SDN post of all time
