Chris Gray, DO

@amulyajpg @daniellejenna @ACOEPRSO AI’s not AID. 😅 Level 2- I used UWorld + Anki (Anking and OMM deck) and the Green OMT Book.

@amulyajpg @daniellejenna @ACOEPRSO has some amazing lecture series on AID and applications! acoep-rso.org/education-even…

EM friends - please drop any & all tips for someone wrapping up third year! Specifically: COMLEX Level 2 advice, strategies for applying to/planning auditions (is it possible to match at a place you didn’t do an away at), what did you do after your aways? #EMBound ⚡️🙏🏽

Matchulations to all! DO seniors and US MD seniors matched at nearly identical rates! We’re proud of all you’ve achieved, and you should be too! #DOProud @TheNRMP @AOAforDOs @AACOMmunities

I’m going to be an Emergency Medicine physician. Could not be more thankful. What a ride. #Match2026 #EmergencyMedicine #EMBound

@NotoriousS1Q3T3 Congrats!!

DELAYED, NOT DENIED!!!!! I AM GOING TO BE AN EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 This last year was quite literally the hardest year of my life. Opening that email a year ago and feeling my heart sink into the pit of my stomach was the worst feeling ever, compounded by the demoralizing process of having to go immediately compose myself enough to go through the SOAP. And, it was made even worse by the fact that, though I love my TY program and the growth I have had this year, I ultimately did not get an EM position in the SOAP, which was what I really wanted. But despite wanting to give up, I kept my nose to the grindstone and I persevered, working relentlessly to overcome the failure of my 2025 Match. Hard work pays off. Pardon the French, but I fucking did it y’all. I am quite literally shaking and crying in clinic. It was all worth it. Every single moment of effort was worth it. I am good enough, and I deserve to be an emergency medicine physician, which is the farthest thing imaginable from how I felt this time last year. 😭😭😭😭😭

Happy match week! Your annual reminder that if you do not get the answer you were hoping for today, it’s not the end of your journey. Take time to grieve, reach out to those around you for support, and shoot me a message. I’m here to help!

@aghawk99 Sheer volume. My strategy for both was 120-200 UWorld/day with Anki. It was my second pass at UWorld. Only sustainable for a month or so, but definitely needed the stamina during the actual exams.

Accepting any and all tips for Step/Level 2 studying! I have 50 days!! 🫣😵‍💫
