After Angie graduated from her master's program, she returned to Texas to complete her FINAL. YEAR. OF. MED SCHOOOOOOL. She began applying to residency programs in the best specialty of all: Obstetrics & Gynecology!

Ok, we need to take a moment to appreciate just how amazing this specialty is. It's the perfect combination of primary care and surgery. You can perform hysterectomies by day and deliver babies by night. You're there for your patients through the most joyous and trying times of their lives. Cervical cancer used to be the most common cancer in half the population, but it's not anymore and that's thanks to the preventative care offered by ob/gyns. There is not a more glorious way to celebrate the resiliency of uterus-owning people and I just love it a lot, ok?

Back to the story... After coming back to Texas, Angie applied to residency programs across the country and spent a few months traveling for interviews. One place captured her heart in particular, and it was located at the heart of healthcare policy: Washington, D.C.

Despite her hopes, Angie still doubted she would be able to get into her dream program. She traveled to Galveston on Friday March 17th, 2017 for Match Day. That's the day when medical students all over the nation learn which residency program they have 'matched' to. When her name was called, Angie walked to the stage and retrieved the envelope which would reveal her fate for the next four years. And when she opened it, she screamed. Subhan Allah... It was meant to be. She was accepted to her dream program at Georgetown University.
