What is Match Day?

The Match Day ceremony celebrates our graduating Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) students’ achievements and unveils where they will complete their medical residencies and begin the next chapter of their careers in medicine.

According to the American Medical Association, Match Day happens on the third Friday of March every year. It’s a time when medical schools throughout the country commemorate this day with a nationwide live event where students receive their residency assignments.
