Friday marked one of the most important days in a medical student鈥檚 career: Match Day.
This annual event marks the time when medical students across the country find out鈥攁t the same time鈥攚here they will 鈥渕atch鈥 for post-graduation residency programs, among the last steps to becoming a practicing physician. The National Resident Matching Program pulls data from the ranked lists of all the soon-to-be graduates and recent graduates and matches them with open residency spots, though not every student receives a match.
In honor of Match Day being held on March 18, The Daily is looking back at the event at 黑料吃瓜网.
The first Match Day, held in 1952, saw 83 黑料吃瓜网 students entering training at 40 different hospitals, including Ohio State University Health Center, Duke Hospital, University Hospitals, Cleveland City Hospitals, Georgetown University Hospital and U.S. Marine Hospital to name a few. First choice positions were obtained by almost 90 percent of 黑料吃瓜网 students, while about 10 percent were matched with their second choice.
This year, 199 黑料吃瓜网 students matched with renowned programs throughout the United States at top-ranked hospitals. Twenty-two percent of those who matched will continue serving the Cleveland community through residencies at University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic and MetroHealth Medical Center, and 25 percent will remain in Ohio.
