Here's a charming and insightful 11 minute video by the remarkable physician-filmmaker Dr. Trisha Pasricha, about the experience of going through the residency match run each year by the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). It includes some bits of an interview that Dr. Pasricha conducted with me.
