At the end of the month many of my future osteopathic physicians will be submitting their rank lists for their future residency spot. The last year of medical school in all frankness sucks. For the past 3-4 months you have been on the interview trail & doing electives trying to keep your best foot forward knowing(in your mind) that one bad day could cost you your spot. Now all your hard work since the day you stepped into medical school ends with you turning in a list praying that the computer gods work their magic. The best advice I can give is RELAX and trust that you did everything you could to get where you wanted and if things don’t work out and you end up at your 5th spot when the dust settles you have to continue to be the best resident you can be because it will show to your fellow interns, students, attendings and patients when you aren’t happy.
A look back at what I was going through last year at this time http://www.drpierresblog.com/2011/01/decisions-decisions.html
This doesn't have to do with your post - but I advise everyone to read this post. It's exactly how I felt on my blog last September. That was when I stopped blogging and deleted all old posts and all comments.
