In what for many is a gruelling process, the residency match process requires students to apply to a variety of hospitals in a given specialty. For those going into more competitive programmes with few slots, this can mean applying to as many as 60 or more institutions, with dozens of interviews to follow. At the end of it all, applicants rank the hospitals they interviewed at in a sequential preference, and hospitals do the same of the applicants. An <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mk0nrmpcikgb8jxyd19h.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/The-Sveriges-Riksbank-Prize-in-Economic-Sciences-in-Memory-of-Alfred-Nobel1.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">algorithm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> then matches applicants and hospitals according to their cross-matched preferences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I remember going through the match process in 2016. I had applied to residency in internal medicine (IM), and while this specialty wasn\u2019t the most competitive, landing a spot at any of the top ranked IM programmes certainly was. Like all of my classmates, I was filled with anxiety and fear, unsure of where I would end up. In the US, the match process is held together by a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrmp.org\/requesting-waiver\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">binding contract<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This means that where you match is where you must go. Attempting to do otherwise requires extenuating circumstances. Effectively, three to eight years of one\u2019s life is in the hands of a computer algorithm, and let me assure you that it doesn\u2019t always work out as planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Match day itself is just shy of a national holiday in the US. The entire process has become a fairly well recognised event, although every school does it differently. At our medical school, the match results were handed out in sealed white envelopes and everyone opened them at the same time, usually with their families. At other schools, the process is far more public\u2014applicants actually go up to a microphone and open their letters in front of their entire medical school class. As one might imagine, this can lead to some awkward moments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking back now, I have a different outlook on the match than I did when I was going through it. The best piece of advice I can offer is to not fall into the trap of letting your outcome define your journey. Medicine can feel like a rat race in which you\u2019re always jostling for the next rung on the ladder: for college students, it\u2019s where you are accepted for medical school; for medical students, it\u2019s where you match for residency; for residents, where you train for fellowship; and onwards. I\u2019ll admit that I certainly bought into this type of thinking, at least subconsciously, and it took time to disentangle myself from these pressures and rewire my own understanding of how much the system had come to influence me. Now I can say with certainty: the institution doesn\u2019t make the doctor\u2014the doctors make the institution. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And we have data to back that up. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/362\/bmj.k3640\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A 2018 study in <em>The BMJ<\/em><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> examined the <em>US News and World Report<\/em> ranking of a physician\u2019s medical school and patient mortality rates. They found no association at all\u2014that is to say: where you went to medical school most likely doesn\u2019t matter, at least in terms of patient mortality. In fact, if it matters at all, it may be in the opposite direction that most American patients would expect. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/356\/bmj.j273\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A 2017 study in <em>The BMJ<\/em> by some of the same researchers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> showed that patients cared for by international medical graduates actually may have lower mortality rates than those cared for by graduates of US medical schools. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At a practical level, I can say that certain residency programmes may be stronger in certain aspects of clinical training. Our hospital is particularly heavy in cardiology and oncology, and as residents we are exposed to many complex clinical cases in these specialties. But we lack a liver transplant programme, so we are much less likely to be exposed to severe cirrhosis cases. At other programmes, one may find that the opposite is true. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As much as I rejoiced at matching to the hospital that I had ranked first on my list, I realise now that I should have been proud of myself no matter where I ended up. Because ultimately, where you match doesn\u2019t define who you are or what you will do in your career. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m proud of my colleagues and certainly have been positively influenced by them, but there are amazing doctors everywhere, not just at brand name hospitals. Your patients will care far more about how kind you were; how eagerly you listened; how gently you cared; and how hard you worked for them than where you matched. I think if all medical students could know this, perhaps they would worry less. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Abraar Karan<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0is an internal medicine resident at the Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital\/ Harvard Medical School.\u00a0Twitter\u00a0<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abraarkaran\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">@AbraarKaran<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Competing interests<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: None declared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The opinions expressed in this article are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views and opinions of Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The institution doesn\u2019t make the doctor, the doctors make the institution, says Abraar Karan [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2019\/04\/11\/abraar-karan-dont-let-your-institution-define-you\/\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44434,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18906,1357],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-abraar-karan","category-us-health-care"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
