I've noticed on some of the match lists a person will have a primary match, but then a secondary match...
e.g.
Lisa Williams
--Internal medicine, preliminary
--Diagnostic radiology
Does this mean they matched into both and can chose? When would that decision have to be made. It appears that the second choices are more competitive specialties in general and I'm just attempting to understand it.
Another example:
Joe Blow
--Surgery, preliminary
--Anesthesiology
If you match both do you just then get your choice?
