Match Day

Yesterday was Match Day (yes, it was also Valentine's Day which is slightly less important). It was the day I figured out where I and my husband will be for the next 3 or 4 years! I matched Family Medicine in Bangor, Maine! I am a Mainer woohoo. It is a more intensive program than most family med places but I get to do as much ob as I want and as many gyn procedures as I want in the office!! Exciting stuff.

Rank List Rank List

I submitted my rank list last Friday. On its due date. I am still unsure about it. The thought of what I ranked where makes me sick to my stomach. Just try having to make a decision that will not only determine where you will live for the next 3 to 4 years but also determine what you will be doing for the REST OF YOUR LIFE! I have both OB and FM programs on my list and I am still not sure about what I want to do. In some ways I think I will be way happier doing FM. I have 7 programs ranked, four OB and 3 FM. I feel good about the program I have in 4th, I know I will match there if I don't my top three, however, I am wondering if I should have just put it first so I could move on with my life and start planning things now. I really don't think I will match my top three though. Two OB and another FM. I got a call from one OB place about my interested but they didn't say anything about theirs...so I still think it is questionable about matching there. We shall see I guess. I just thought I should try to do OB since I have wanted to do it for so long. I am really stressed out about it. February 14th can't come soon enough! I think my hubby and I will spend Valentine's Day looking at housing and apartment listings to wherever I match...sounds like fun to me!!
