Matched but now imposter syndrome is setting in
I’m grateful to finally have matched. Years of effort for my MD and PhD, going unmatched last year, and busting my ass until I finally matched, paid off. Now I’m questioning, “wtf am I going to do?” I have to take my Step 3 because the 7-year time limit is approaching, so im trying to get focused to prep for that. At the same time, I’m actually going to treat patients, so I need to know my shit is also setting in.
I’m continuing to celebrate, but this thought remains.
Anyways, congratulations to everyone who matched. To those who did not, I’m sorry you are experiencing this. Good luck next cycle. Talk to you mentors and friends, and try to understand what may have happened this cycle. Good luck!
