Match Day promises thrills and
excitement
Graduating medical students of the Wayne State
University School of Medicine will learn where they will spend the next several
years of residency training at the annual Match Day ritual on Thursday, March
21, 11:30 a.m. in the Gordon Scott Hall of Basic Medical Sciences.
Match Day is the day nearly 250 students convene
in the School’s auditorium and learn, individually and simultaneously, where
they have “matched” for their residencies. The event is always exciting,
sometimes chaotic, and promises hoops, hollers and tears of both joy and
disappointment.
After four years of medical school, young
doctors receiving their medical degrees must continue with several more years of
advanced training in a specialty area before they can be fully licensed to
practice medicine. After months of selecting and interviewing with programs most
suited and desirable, the students submit their top choices. The National
Resident Match Program matches these choices with those of the programs. On
Match Day, all graduating doctors nationwide find out where they will be heading
for the next stage of training.
Members of the media are invited to cover this
thrilling and exciting event. Contact Kathleen Wedemire at
313-577-1429.
