For any aspiring physician, Match Day is one of the most important moments along their academic journeys—marking the culmination of years of dedication, clinical training and perseverance. It signifies the moment when students discover where they will complete their residency training and advance their medical careers.
PCOM Georgia Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) student Elizabeth DeSellier (DO '26) matched in Urology at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG)—one of her top choices.
“When I matched, I felt incredibly relieved and grateful. As a DO applying into a competitive field, there's always some uncertainty, so matching to my desired specialty felt validating and rewarding for all the hard work I've put in so far,” DeSellier said.
DeSellier is also considering a fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery as she wants to specialize in women's care.
To get to this point, she credits the faculty at PCOM Georgia with preparing her to move into her residency. “With early clinical exposure and an emphasis on critical thinking skills, I developed the confidence in patient care, efficient clinical reasoning, and a collaborative mindset that allows me to contribute meaningfully to a team.”
Building on that foundation of confidence, DeSellier emphasized the importance of believing in oneself.
“You're more capable than you think. Don't be afraid to pursue what you truly want, even if it feels intimidating or seems out of reach. Work hard, seek mentorship early, and maintain a positive outlook.”
