Michael and Kylie sit down to talk about something that kept coming up in our community: dating and relationships in medicine are harder than people think. Demanding schedules, high standards, decision fatigue from apps, and a profession that doesn't exactly leave a lot of room for a social life… it adds up.

So we decided to do something about it. That's where Match Day comes in: Medical Morons' matchmaking initiative connecting healthcare professionals who are ready to actually meet someone.

In this episode we get into how Match Day came to be, what we've learned about what men and women in medicine are actually looking for, and why we think meeting people the old fashioned way with a little help still wins. We also get personal — sharing our own relationship tips, what we've learned about chemistry and compatibility, and what actually makes relationships work long term.
