Since this came up again recently, here’s your periodic reminder that that the NRMP’s Match statistics underestimate the real number of doctors who are unable to get a residency position. (🧵)

The last 4 weeks since #match2022 have been a roller coaster of emotions, the tears just keep rolling down. Despite the tears, I am looking at ways to improve. Giving up is not an option! #Match2023 we are in this together! #awsumpowers #imgjourney #storiesimg #IMG_advocate

Today I heard, by far, the best example of perseverance. A friend of mine match in Internal Medicine after the 5th attempt. 5th!! Perseverance is a quality you’re borne with, never learned! Follow your dream! Now, go get’em Tiger!! #Match2022 #MedTwitter

Know you are worth so more than all of this. And don't fall into the darkness I fell into. Don't isolate yourself. This system has a lot of problems, but there's always innovative ways to make meaningful change. Tomorrow will always be brighter and definitely more colorful.

I knew nothing about Match. I do know I have waited almost two months to get a primary care appointment, as long to see specialists So frankly this current system doesn’t work for aspiring doctors or patients

I didn’t realize until being onTwitter how many medical students don’t match. It’s ridiculous. There’s a pandemic and a massive physician shortage. These are highly qualified both national and international students. We need all hands on deck. Some expansion is in order.

Let’s stop supporting a system that can’t graduate a doctor who is ready to practice. If med schools have students that graduate but don’t match (pass boards etc) the system is broken.

Does it make sense to have a system which trains and graduates MDs but doesn’t finish the process because there aren’t an adequate number of residencies slots? It a tremendous waste of time/money and it leaves educated medical doctors in limbo. #MatchDayIsBroken #Match2022

Parents, grandparents, aunts, students, friends, brothers, and sisters, we all need to hold @AAMCtoday, @AmerMedicalAssn, medical schools and their cronies for their inaction with regards to the GME mess they have created and sustained. #GuaranteedPGY1 for all applicants.

I need a thread/exposé on unfilled prelim gen Surg + IM programs 1) why do they go unfilled pre-SOAP 2) why do they go unfilled post-SOAP 3) how can they mess with folks’ minds by making them think spots are available when they’re not??? @jbcarmody @mahad_minhas @DocsLeftBehind
