Hello all -
We're coming up fast on another match season and I was wondering if there are any other medical spouses that are going through it at the same time as me!?! Hows the "negotiation" process going?
My wife and I have been in disucssions on how to rank all of these programs she's applied to. I really like certain ones and am ok with others. I'm very concerned about job opportunities, access to family/friends, and standard of living. At her #1 choice, I'll be sacrificing a lot of this. But then again I think - she's worked so hard to do well in med school and go to a great residency program, who am I to stand in the way of that? #2 I think would be great and I would be sacrificing none - however, the program isn't as good, so in the end are we going to regret things?
Anyway - just a little nervousness coming through and we're still a month and a half away.
Anyone else have any Match stories they're willing to share?
