2015 Match Day at the NYS Medical Schools

Mar
27
2015

Match Day is the time-honored event held at medical schools all across the country during which each graduating medical student learns where they will spend the next three to seven years of residency training. For each graduate, Match Day represents the culmination of their medical school education – the match ultimately determines the course of their medical careers. Residents practice the medicine of their choice in a clinical setting, under the supervision of fully licensed physicians.

Many of the schools make an effort to memorialize this professional milestone achievement for students through photos, video and vivid testimonials:
