Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today I’m going to talk a little bit about “Your Medical Career”. Your Medical Career I’ve talked about it a little bit before in my previous posts The New Meta of Medicine and The 20 Year Career. However, I think it’s good to re-evaluate the lives of the 4th year medical students currently in The Match. If you haven’t read any of these Match posts before, here ya go: […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and today I’m going to talk about something relevant to The Match… what to do if you’re “Below Average”. Below Average? Yea. I recently was asked by a friend of a friend about how to approach The Match when you’re “Below Average”. First of all, let’s define what this person meant by “Below Average”. In a general sense, this probably means to the entire “medical student package” meaning your grades […]
