When Allison Broad started the balancing beam at the age of 3, the beginning marked that she finally became the gymnast of Division I. It was not until years later that it was recognized that it was also the beginning of her trip to medicine. Now as a medical student in the fourth year on The University of Colorado School of Medicine, it is preparing for its biggest leap so far: Match Day.

The Match Day is an annual event in which medical students across the country also learn the Residency program with which it matches it. This year when Broad opens her envelope to reveal where she was together, she hopes to see an emergency training program in a County Hospital in Denver or in the Bay Area.

“I learned a long time ago that I cannot predict the future, but wherever I am called, I know that there will be opportunities,” says Benjamin, 41, who will graduate in May and will take his third career path. “The match day can be a terrifying experience, but I hope that all my colleagues can find joy where the next phase of their lives leads them and I trust that they will do it.”
