Every year, senior medical students meet across the U.S. and Canada to find out where they’ll go to residency after graduation.
“Match Day is the day where all over the nation, every graduating medical student finds out where they’re going to be pursuing their graduate medical education which is their residency training. Not only do they find out on the same day nationally but they find out at exactly the same time,” explained Kelly Roveda, Associate Dean for Student Affairs at Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine.
Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama Match Day 2023 Class of 2023“They submit their order of preference and the residency program submits their order of preferences and then it’s just a matching algorithm that puts them together so it’s palpable, nerve wracking,” added Roveda.
“I’m a little nervous. I know I have a job, so that’s number 1. I’m a little nervous about picking up and moving my family- I have two little girls, I am married,” said Aidan Gilbert.“I’m just excited- I don’t care where, I think we’re all ready to go. We know we have to move and I am excited for a new adventure,” said Sarah Filingim.
For many, this moment is the result of years of hard work, sacrifice and support from friends and family.“We definitely screamed,” said one joyful student.Each student crosses the stage to share where they’re going, putting a pin on the map of their residency location.It’s a monumental and life-altering day.“I’m completely relieved,” added Cammie Joyner. “I am also super proud of him.
