🚨 New Opportunities Posted
unmatchedmd.com

I was no longer a “residency applicant.” I was Dr. Henna Sawhney and I knew what I could bring to the table with my education and experience. Something I never got the chance to prove for residency.

Stepping away from this process was the hardest decision I have ever made.

7/

To those that have already stepped away from #Match - thank you for your courage because that could not have been easy.

Whatever your path, you are a success.

The system is the one failing at a time we so desperately need more physicians practicing.

12/

To those applying for #Match2023 good luck! Be hopeful, but stay grounded.

To those #unmatched that continue to apply, your resilience and persistence will be rewarded! I so hope you find a program that realizes how much you have to offer.

11/

Residency may not be the path for everyone. So they should have the opportunity to consider other options.

And that’s okay. Because you should do what’s right for YOU.

You’ll be so much better for it.

10/

But I’m hoping that it will give the courage to those that are exhausted from the process to step away from this toxic cycle.

As much hope as residency applicants have that they will Match, the reality is almost 25% will not each year.

It’s a reality we need to acknowledge.

9/

A lot of people have told me that I am giving up.

But I’m not. I’m choosing an unconventional, and possibly more difficult, path for my happiness. I’m rewriting the dream I’ve had since I was 10 years old.

My choice to stop applying may not be suited for everyone.

8/

It was the most free I had felt in a long time. I began understanding what I wanted in a career, pursuing those opportunities, taking those chances. I was more confident in myself than at any point in the residency process

Because I could finally see and acknowledge my worth

6/

But I stood by my decision and slowly began to heal.

Stepping away from #Match2023 , I finally had a clarity of mind I never had before.

Doors began opening, I was able to make decisions about things without centralizing my whole life on the uncertainty of residency.

5/

I was finally giving myself the time to grieve. The time to process what I had gone through year after year.

I was extremely at distraught first. I felt like the ultimate failure. Some days I was angry, other days I was at a loss for what my future career would look like

4/

I had made every sacrifice to get into residency because that was the only way I saw my future as a physician

But that’s where I was wrong - I was stuck with tunnel vision of what it meant to succeed as a doctor

After #Match2022 I decided I was ending the toxic cycle

3/

I had been running the #Match marathon for 4 years, kept pushing through, amping my experience, rewriting my PS, getting new LORs, working during a pandemic.

Kept ending up #unmatched , sometimes more heartbroken than the previous year, with no time to process what happened.

2/

This is the first year I have not applied for #Match2023

It’s the first time I’m not worrying if I did “enough” to finally get in.

And I have to say, I haven’t felt HAPPIER or more fulfilled in years.

This email depict the sad reality of pursuing surgical training in the US as an IMG. Most of us are often filtered out during the process and aren’t even looked at. Diversity & inclusion efforts should also consider IMGs. We do bring a lot to the table. 🩺 #Match2023

More funding for residency training sounds smart, especially in psychiatry in very urban and rural areas.
