College of Medicine students learn of their futures at Match Day

On March 21, fourth-year medical students across the country discovered where they will spend their residencies in an annual tradition known as Match Day. For more than 120 students at Penn State College of Medicine, their Match Day event included a countdown to the moment when they ripped open the envelopes that hold their futures — a moment marked by cheers, hugs and tears.

In all, 100 percent of the college’s senior medical student residency applicants matched to one of the residency programs to which they had applied. Of the 133 graduates, 26 of them will remain at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center for residency. One-hundred-twenty-one graduates matched through the National Residency Matching Program, while the rest took part in similar programs such as the Military Match.
