Fourth Years: Use #FutureFAAP and #Match2015 to Celebrate on Friday!
To all of our fourth-years–good luck on Friday! Here is a message from the AAP about using social media to celebrate on Match Day:
Match week starts today March 16, and culminates with Match Day this Friday, March 20. As your professional home in Pediatrics, we want to celebrate the good news! Join us in welcoming the newest members of our Pediatrics family by taking part in our social media #Match2015 celebration. We also ask that you use your voice to #FACEPoverty by advocating to #ExtendCHIP. To share the good news of those matching into Pediatrics, Med/Peds, etc, follow and use #FutureFAAP. For more information and to see the congratulatory messages, visit and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Medical students: For those matching, tell us if you matched and then on Friday tell us where. For those not in this year’s match we encourage you to follow along and engage by congratulating your fellow medical students. Below are sample tweets to use to share the great news!
Example message: @AAPSOMSRFT it’s official! #IMatched into (pediatrics/med-peds, etc) #FutureFAAP #Match2015
Consider sharing a pic or taking a selfie to share with the group. Remember to use the hashtags #FutureFAAP #tweetiatricianselfie in your message
