On Friday, fourth-year University of Utah School of Medicine students learned where they will live and work for the next few years while completing residency during the annual Match Day ceremony.
The medical school class of 2025 has applied for residency programs at hospitals all over the nation, specializing in areas such as pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and emergency medicine to name a few.
In the weeks leading up to Match Day, students completed an application process that included ranking their top choices for residency programs. Based on interviews and applications, those programs considered the students who picked them as their top selections. Then, if the preferred program accepts the student, it’s a match.
According to the university, here are some fun statistics about this year’s group:
Number of states students matched to: 34.
Number of residency programs matched to: 107.
