Samenvatting:

The Match process is an adventure. If you learn to navigate the system early on, you will enjoy both the journey and your destination. The Match (for residency), rather than fellowship match or first attending job match, is the single most decisive and impactful milestone for a physician in the making. Regretfully, most who journeyed only recognize what they should have done differently after arriving at their destinations on Match Day.Fortunately, numerous mentors and guides have made my Match journey much smoother and more rewarding than many others’. This book contains the collective wisdom from those who helped me along my journey and those who shared the adventure with me.This book addresses the top factors considered by program directors when selecting residency applicants for interview and ranking them for training positions. Questions are answered, such as—(Where) should I do audition rotations? How and from whom should I get recommendation letters? Does my leave of absence from medical school ruin my chances of getting into residency? And more.
