Annual Match Day arrives
for
students in College of Medicine
After several years of medical school, the future now comes down to the opening of a single letter for medical students in Penn State's College of Medicine at Hershey and at other institutions across the country.
At noon March 20, College of Medicine students gathered to participate in the annual Match Day ceremonies, a national tradition in which soon-to-be-graduated medical students simultaneously open letters to learn what hospital or other health-care provider has accepted them into a residency program.
Until noon on Match Day, most medical students do not know for sure how or where they will spend their next few years. This year, 81 Penn State students participated in the national match. Fifteen additional students learned previously that they had been matched in military or other special programs. Students still have May graduation ceremonies ahead of them before they officially begin their various residency programs.
