Congrats on Matching!! Now what...?!?!

It’s the second week in March, temperatures are starting to get warmer, days are getting longer, green food coloring is abound... and 4thyear medical students are receiving notification about their Match results. Residency Match Day has always served as a moment of celebration as the soon to be graduates learn where they will be taking the next step in their medical training, leaving the classroom and stepping into the clinics, wards, and offices of their chosen specialty. The question that often pops into the minds of these students is “What do I focus on for the last months of my fourth year?” For this episode of the Pedscast we have assembled an expert panel including co-host Scott Cyrus in his role of Dean of Pediatrics at Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, and podcast regular Dr. Tyree Winters, Pediatric Residency Program Director at Goryeb Children’s Hospital in New Jersey. We are also joined by student correspondent Swetha Chengalvala, OMS-2 from Touro NY College of Osteopathic Medicine who brings questions from the students’ perspective for the panel to answer. Enjoy this episode as the panelists, and host Jason Jackson, dive into these exciting months between Match and the start of residency. As always if this episode brought questions of your own up, don’t hesitate to send them to Jason and Scott [email protected] to be discussed on future episodes.
