U of M Family Medicine Match Results 2015

It's the first day of spring AND NRMP Match Day 2015 —  the energy and excitement is palpable!

Andrew Morris-Singer, MD, of Primary Care Progress, shared a great blog post today. He asked students to remember that Match Day is not the arrival point, it's the launching point. Here's an excerpt: 

"This moment presents an enormous opportunity. ...You are in an incredible position to make an unbelievable difference. So bring yourself – all of yourself, your ideas, your skills – to the residencies and practices you’ve been matched to. Ride the wave of support for primary care – be a leader, engage new teams, and find better ways of getting patients the care they need."
