The Match


Resources to Help Your Physician Family Through the Match and Beyond

By Donna Baver Rovito

This week is a time for both excitement and dread among graduating medical students – Match Week, which culminates in Match Day on Friday, March 17!

After finding out where they will spend the next 3-7 years, newly matched residents will need a lot of information and support to embark upon the next step of their Journey of Medicine. Physician Family Magazine and our weekly blog have published dozens of pieces which feature information to ease medical students into the next stage, and below, we provide links to all of our previously published pieces that can be useful to “new residents.” We’ve also included our entire Fall 2016 issue of Physician Family, which focused on Stage Two of the Journey – Residency and Fellowship.

Please continue to follow Physician Family on Facebook, Twitter and on our website at www.physicianfamilymedia.org to receive regular updates on the information which is most useful to YOUR Physician Family!
