As an international medical graduate resident, I recognize the shared journey of resilience and determination we undertake to match in the USA. In my editorial, I unveil the challenges faced during the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the setback of a rejected USA visa as many resident physicians have faced. Remember, you're not alone on this challenging path! and you never know when the tide might turn in your favor. As the Arabic saying goes, “Those who keep knocking on doors, they will, one day, find them open.” ”جِدُّوا بالدُّعَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يُكْثِرُ قَرْعَ البَابِ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُ“ Wishing the best of luck to all residency and fellowship match applicants; may you secure a spot of your preferences! @JACCJournals @ACCinTouch #Match2024 #AHA23 #MATCHDAY #MedTwitter #CardioTwitter #CardioEd @RGHIMProgram @CardioNerds 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
