What is Match Day?

Match Day is a rite of passage for students who are ready to graduate from medical schools across the United States. Medical students find out where they will be doing their residency training after completing medical school. Managed by the National Resident Matching Program in the United States, students gather in March of their senior year to open an envelope or email that reveals where they have been matched for their residency.
