Good luck everyone tomorrow! Hope we all get our #1 programs.

Anyone have any luck in the SOAP?

I’m sure you’ll match with the best roofing contractor out there.

Congrats to everyone.

Residency is actually a lot of fun.

Hopefully you all get the programs you want.

On Black Monday, I sent all of my best buddies pages, listing the admin office as the number to call back.

I still chuckle.

Most of them do too...now.

True. Currently hating life since Scruffy is stuck on night shift for the month doing floor call and admits.

This month blows, but on average Scruffy would say he enjoyed it.

That’s mainly because of co-residents. The work sucks, but Scruffy made good friends.

The day 4th year medical students find out where they matched for residency training in whatever specialty they applied to.

Medical students find out where they will do their residency training for the next 3 or more years.

Can’t believe there are that many premeds or doctors on this board

We filled this year, but I'm happy to have pulled what we did out of the SOAP and am lucky to have learned from people far more talented from me that came to program from the SOAP.



ETA: So whether you're at your top choice or last resort, realize you have an absolute ton to learn and just as much to teach to those you work with.

Hopeful Doc finished nights back in August but did some extra nights due to some unforeseen circumstances in December and may pick up a few more in the next couple of months. He absolutely hated them to the end, but in the end he will never forget how truly gratifying it was to take a 'tern who showed up with very, very subpar skills, teach them the appropriate way to do things and watch them learn from their shortcomings and argue that the subpar 'tern now outshines them. Almost makes him think Academic Medicine is a good career option.

My roommate did not match. I was learning all about the SOAP with him. He was not able to scramble either
