The Most<br />
Wonderful<br />
Time <strong>of</strong> the Year<br />
Match Day is a little like opening presents on a holiday morning: the anticipation, the smiles and squeals<br />
<strong>of</strong> delight when you open the gift you’ve been wishing for all year. Medical students have worked hard for<br />
four years to achieve the thing they’ve been wishing for most — to become a physician. And on Match Day,<br />
they finally get to open the envelope that tells them where they will continue their training as residents. For<br />
them, the spring season <strong>of</strong> Match Day and graduation may be the most wonderful time <strong>of</strong> the year.
