hello first time poster, long time lurker
congratulations to all that matched
this is my 4th match 2005 YOG step1 (195) 1 step2 (205)2 cs (passed)1 step3 (215) im a GC holder.
i have observed in different clinics, had observerships/externships in different hospitals throughout the years and worked as an informal PA in a primary care clinic. Worked in healthcare related office jobs in between these observerships/externships to have the funds to drop everything and run to the next lead.
I applied to FM this match only to a few programs because of YOG. had 1 interview and it was in the hospital i did 3 months of externship, had a couple attendings even recommend me to the PD while i rotated.
unfortunately i did not match, i really thought i would get in this year, but i guess it didn't work out again. I literally had everything riding on this last match, my resources, emotions everything I had left, i gave it all. I'm spent now, I'm not sure what to do from here.
This is the only field I know, yet my heart tells me that I have to stop chasing this dream and finally succumb to reality.
This hurts real bad, I guess thats why I needed to vent somewhere.
