Match Day is an event that occurs at the same time in every medical school in the nation.

Throughout their fourth year, students have interviewed for residency programs across the state and around the country, and have ranked their choices. Likewise, residency programs have ranked the students they most want to invite to their program.

This process culminates on Match Day, when students learn which residency program they are matched with, and what part of the country they will move to for the next phase of their training.

In an emotional and exciting event on Friday, March 21, 2014, students will be randomly called to the front of the amphitheater to receive the envelope containing their fate. Then they'll announce to their peers, families, and friends where they'll be headed after graduation in May.
