The guy in the beginning doing orthopaedic surgery at Hopkins and how his parents were soo happy I cried 😭😭

[AndreBro]

That must be the best feeling in the world. 4 years of college, many hours of volunteering, and 4 years of medical school. After 8-10 years finally starting your clinical training and calling yourself a doctor. Damn

I'm an engineering student randomly watching this and I'm in tears lol

[fionahall]

The first guy when his parents cried, such proud parents ❤️❤️

[edithmalivaachale]

[malkalevanna]

I don’t even know anyone here, yet I’m getting emotional for them. Congrats!!!

[Champselysse]

Just got accepted here for medical school 😭

[chiduong]

I don't know why I kept waiting for somebody to say "Seattle Grace" or "Seatle Pres"

[한여]

Now THIS is how we should match day announcements! Such a community feel and true celebration of each student!!

I remember when my older brother matched in radiation oncology, then a year later my older sister matched in ob/gyn. In a year I hope to match into plastic surgery and follow in my family’s medical career path.

Interesting process and tradition. Here in Germany we finish medical school and then we just apply privately by ourselves to whatever institution we are interested in - basically like every other profession. No centralised system, just normal CVs, interviews etc. Due to a general lack of doctors we have the luxury of having a job almost guaranteed and being able to get into almost any field (with few exceptions) with almost any grades. The competition in the US seems to be intense, I am happy I will be able to choose my speciality and location, not being 'matched'.

[tuts]

So many happy people, bless their heart

[RBadie]

the enthusiasm in this video is off charts

[Kimu]

You all have that doctor look on you guys, it’s so weird

[RogueOregon]

I always wanted to be a med student, when I was younger, but I always had a fear of blood, needles, and open wounds. This please are living a life that really helps those who need it.

[crimson_auror]

I’m a first year med student and I can’t wait for this day 🥺

[nicolenicole]

I’m loving this energy, I’m a disaster at anything that has to do with biology and I’m afraid of needles but seeing the being so passionate and supportive is inspiring

[elenor]

I’m from the uk so have absolutely no idea what’s happening, but it’s filling me with happiness and I’m here for it

[ktmw]
