Congratulations on your match! But now what? That envelope tells you where you're going, but not how to get there or what to do next. This episode tackles the often overwhelming post-Match Day experience with practical guidance for physicians and their families preparing for relocation.

Drawing from years of experience helping medical families transition to new communities, I break down the critical first steps anyone should take after learning their match results. We explore how to leverage social media to research your new city, connect with local physician spouse alliances, and gather insider information that makes your transition smoother. I share practical advice on timing your move, creating a realistic relocation budget, and navigating the complex rent-versus-buy decision that many trainees face.

The episode features insights into what medical families should consider beyond basic housing decisions - from analyzing true commute times during rush hour to finding off-market properties from departing residents. I explain why working with someone who understands the unique challenges of physician relocation can save you significant stress and help you build connections before you even arrive. Whether you're moving solo or relocating an entire family, these physician-specific resources will help you approach your transition with confidence instead of anxiety.
