On March 17, graduating medical students around the nation celebrated Match Day by opening their envelopes simultaneously to learn where they matched for their residencies.
At EVMS, 138 fourth-year MD students participated in a Match Day event and are headed to several of the nation’s most prestigious residency programs, including Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Penn Medicine — just to name a few.
Earlier in the year, fourth-year students across the nation applied to residency positions in their chosen specialty — such as pediatrics or surgery. After hitting the interview trail, the students ranked the programs according to those they preferred to join. The programs, in turn, ranked the students they felt would make the best fit. Then the National Resident Matching Program used an algorithm to pair the students and residency programs. Nearly all students around the nation learned the results of the ranking process at the same time Friday, March 17.
The EVMS celebration kicked off with the inaugural Match Day March, which saw the EVMS campus come out to wish the students the best of luck.
