that explains this medical school/residency/doctor plan. I probably get asked at least once a day what this process is so... here it goes:
*Right now Bryan is applying to about 30 residency programs throughout the country.
*In December he will interview at about 10 of them.
*In February we will need to hand in our ranking of these 10 programs.
*The programs also rank the students- and there is some mathmatical equation they use to match programs to students.
*March 20, 2008 is "Match Day" this day at noon we will be handed an envelop that will tell us where we matched and where Bryan will be doing his 4 year anesthesia residency.
*May 2008, Bryan will graduate and officailly be an M.D. (Scary, YES!)
*June 2008, Bryan will start residency where ever we are matched.
FAQ's:
-Bryan will start to get a paycheck in June.
-He is NOT getting paid now.
-We are not guaranteed to match in MN.
-He is doing anesthesiology and the residency is 4 years.
~Please let me know if I have missed out on any other questions! It is a long, strange and confusing process and I just wish it was easier to explain!
Have a great day!
