St. Patrick's Day Luck for Matching Medical Students

Match Day was an absolutely beautiful - and lucky - day for our three medical student bloggers. In our first post-Match post, Renee Betancourt takes a moment to share her exciting residency placement  news.

I matched at the University of California San Francisco Family Medicine Residency Program. I am so thrilled about this program. The program's focus on underserved medicine is what attracts me most, followed in short order by the stellar primary care research, diverse and talented residents, and the beautiful city of San Francisco. My spouse and I are already trying to learn about the different neighborhoods in San Francisco and planning our big move across the country. I feel so lucky, like I'm on a cloud. I'm so proud of our class, many of whom matched into incredibly competitive programs. Luckily for me, there's a little cohort of Penn Med 2011 folks heading out to San Francisco. West Coast - here we come!

Renee was also interviewed by KYW Radio - check out the story here.
