CaRMS Match Day: Every Experience is Different

Mar 4, 2025

In this timely episode, Dr. Andrew Pauls (PGY1, Family Medicine & former host) joins Cameron Wong to share his Match Day experience. He reflects on the whirlwind of emotions leading up to the moment he pressed the button to reveal his result and offers perspective on staying grounded during this high-stakes time.

Dr. Pauls emphasizes the importance of recognizing the many achievements medical students have already made and encourages gratitude for the journey so far. He also shares thoughtful advice for those not in the CaRMS process—offering ways to support fourth-year medical students by giving them the space to process their results in their own way.
