👑 AnKing Step Deck Update #32
Date: Aug 21st – Sept 22nd 2026
Hi everyone! 👋
I hope you've all been doing great!
🫶 A short message for ERAS applicants
On behalf of the AnKing maintainer team, we want to wish everyone the best of luck this upcoming residency match cycle! ❤️
The AnKing deck may have played a small, medium, or huge role in getting you here. Maybe you volunteered with us, crushed Step 2, honored your rotations, or excelled on your aways.
Whatever your journey looked like, we are honored to have been even a small part of it. We hope the Step Deck helped you along the way as much as it helped all of us throughout medical school.
Take a moment to be proud of how far you’ve come and everything it took to get here, it was definitely NOT easy😅
We’re rooting for every one of you and hope you match at your #1! ❤️
