Show Notes
Match day is the celebration of medical students around the country being able to enter into the field of medicine after graduating medical school. Over 45,000 medical students apply each year. Some are able to match and others aren't. Podcast Co-Host Dr. Lavar Williams talks about his journey failing comlex level 2, a major exam twice and failing OMM and still matching at his number 1 choice. We talk about imposter syndrome, dealing with DO discrimination as an applicant and his conviction to remain connected to staying in Georgia and close to his beautiful daughter. We also discuss celebrating yourself and giving thyself grace no matter what outcomes befall people in this process. Why following your instinct matters and MORE! Good words, wisdom and LOVE!
