The Match is a daunting process for many aspiring doctors. Some face seemingly insurmountable odds and immovable mountains.
But with faith in God, we can move mountains—and we can see Him move us into the places He has prepared for us.
“…For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you…”
– Jesus, in Matthew 17:20 NKJV
Backstory
As a medical student preparing to enter The Match, I scoured the Internet for testimonies of God’s faithfulness and miracle-working power in seemingly impossible Match situations. These stories have strengthened my faith and sustained me through the tough times. Here, I compile them into a “database” to readily encourage others in their journey.
Inspiring faith stories of how God moved mountains and worked miracles inside and outside of The Match to position His people in medicine.
An applicant with a low Step 1 score applies to neurosurgery residency for the third time, despite being told that she will likely never succeed. She goes all in, risking utter failure if God does not come through. He responds in ways she did not expect.
