Philippine American Physiatrist Association2 hours agoCongratulations to the MS4s who matched today! We are so excited to hear where you are all headed on Friday!
While we celebrate the excitement of Match Day, we also want to hold space for those who didn't receive the news they were hoping for. Please know that this moment does not define your worth, your capability, or your future as a physician. It is completely valid to feel disappointed, exhausted, or uncertain. If you are feeling overwhelmed, remember that you are not alone, and your community is standing right beside you.
PAPA, our partners and colleagues are here for you! We have physiatrists who have been in your shoes or are simply available for mentorship that are available to help you get through this period! Please reach out Drs. Tamayo, Fuentes, or Badillo if you need to reach out to someone.
