We had the good fortune of connecting with Tabby Fayyaz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tabby, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
While going through the residency application process, I realized the lack of reliable resources for residency applicants. The inspiration behind Resiyay was sharing essential information and developing a community of PGYs passionate about giving back to the community.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Resiyay was created in September 2022 to support US residency applicants through the 2023 Match Cycle. Since then, our team has grown and now includes 2100+ residency applicants and a community of 70+ volunteer PGYs. I am very proud of establishing a platform with essential and free information for US residency applicants and applicants around the globe including all seven continents.

I would love for the world to know that although it was very challenging to grow this group and business, every struggle has created a worldwide community of medical PGYs, residency applicants and aspirants.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I am certainly a nature loving person so a perfect day would grabbing coffee in the morning, going on a trail walk at White Rock Lake and then heading to Northpark mall for lunch. And finally wrapping up the evening with a sunset view at Adriatica Village.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
