Match Day brings a lot of nerves, both from hope and from anxiety. I love the national significance of Match Day and have watched videos for years, because it's a universal experience of opening your envelope and finding out where your future will be. I think it's a rite of passage and an honor to celebrate with friends, family, and mentors.

The Match reflects the years of training and numerous exams medical students go through before being offered the privilege of caring for patients as a resident physician. It also provides the opportunity to celebrate the success of their peers as they embark on a career in their chosen specialties.
