This year, we’re proud to support 11 outstanding applicants from nearly 60 applicants, more doctors than last year. 💙 But 4 strong, promising applicants are still on the waitlist. Our goal is to raise enough donations before August 30 to support all 15 doctors. Every donation helps. And if you can’t donate, a share can still bring us closer. 4 doctors are still waiting for someone to extend a hand. ✨ zeffy.com/en-US/donation-for… #MedTwitter #donate #Match2027
