Three new doctors—all women—struggle to balance professional
ambitions and personal relationships, triumphs and crises,
uncertainties and decisions, through one pressure-packed day
and the first year of their careers in medicine Each year, on the third Thursday in March, more than 15,000
graduating medical students exult, despair, and endure Match
Day: the decision of a controversial computer algorithm,
which matches students with hospital residencies in every
field of medicine. The match determines where each graduate
will be assigned the crucial first job as an intern, and
shapes the rest of his—or, in increasing number, her—life. In Match Day, Brian Eule follows three women from the
anxious months before the match through the completion of
their first year of internship. Each woman makes mistakes,
saves lives, and witnesses death; each must keep or jettison
the man in her life; each comes to learn what it means to
heal, to comfort, to lose, and to grieve, while maintaining
a professional demeanor. Just as One L became the essential book about the
education of young attorneys, so Match Day will be for every
medical student, doctor, and reader interested in medicine:
a guide to what to expect, and a dramatic recollection of a
pressured, perilous, challenging, and rewarding time of life.
