AU UGA Medical Partnership Match Day Results

Fourth-year medical students at the AU/UGA Medical Partnership gathered at noon on Friday, March 21 in George Hall at the UGA Health Sciences Campus for Match Day, an event celebrating the next step in their medical careers.  Thirty-seven members of the Class of 2014 received a sealed envelope, which contained a letter revealing where they will pursue their medical residencies.

An annual event, Match Day takes place after students participated in interviews and visits to residency programs across the country.  To determine the post-graduation assignments, the students ranked hospitals where they would like to complete residencies, and hospital residency programs rank the student applicants.  The rankings are then submitted to the nonprofit organization National Resident Matching Program in Washington, D.C., which uses an algorithm which aligns the choices of the applicants with those of the residency programs.  The final pairings are announced simultaneously across the United States at noon on the third Friday in March.
