OK, Practice Notes readers, this post really requires your contribution.
On Kevin MD's blog, Brian Eule wrote about Match Day (which is today), the third Thursday of March when the nation's graduating medical school students find out to which residency program they have been matched.
Eule writes: "Much of the future of their field will remain unknown, as the country works through health care reform. But for the country’s newest class of doctors, today will give them a little more information as to their futures as doctors."
I'd like to invite you to recall and share your Match Day experience here. What was the process like at your school? How did you feel?
