About Match Day
On Match Day, fourth-year medical students across the country learn where they will begin their residency training. At this much-anticipated celebratory event, graduating medical students open envelopes that reveal where they will spend the next years of their lives training to become surgeons, pediatricians, neurologists or physicians in other specialties. Administered through a national matching program, the event is the culmination of four years of medical school and months of applications and interviews.
