According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, the number of medical students who matriculate into medical schools has increased by more than 30% in the last 20 years, yet the corresponding number of residency program spots has not kept up. A consequence of this mismatch is that between 7-20% of 4th year medical students do not match into a residency program on their first try. In this episode, we bring back the beloved Dr. Andrés Calvillo, to discuss his journey of working as a medicine intern while also balancing re-applying to radiology residency. Dr. Calvillo shares his experience navigating the challenges of being partially matched into residency and offers practical and helpful advice that has helped him along the way. Join us for a meaningful, honest and uplifting discussion with Dr. Andrés Calvillo.
