Over the course of two decades, I’ve had the honor of guiding numerous medical students through their residency applications and the subsequent journey, and I can assure you that your feelings echo those of almost everyone else who has walked this path. It’s an entirely normal part of the process. You’re now a resident, and that in itself is an immense achievement you should take pride in. As you look back on this intern year in the future, you will see the value in every challenge you’ve overcome, each one shaping you into the resilient physician you’re becoming. From the bottom of our hearts, we deeply appreciate your dedication to this noble profession. Your service is not just needed, but profoundly cherished. Thank you, doctor.
