While basketball fans anxiously await the release of this year's NCAA Tournament bracket, University of Louisville medical students, and others nationwide, enjoyed their version of "Selection Friday."
March 15 was Match Day, as prospective medical residents opened their envelopes from the National Residency Match Program to find where they had been matched for their future training as residents.
"We would like to enthusiastically welcome a new class of categorical, preliminary, and med-peds interns to our Department of Medicine family," Jennifer Koch, M.D., FACP, Director of the UofL Internal Medicine Residency Program said. "Thanks to the hard work of both the applicants and our faculty members, I am confident that we have recruited a wonderful group of physicians who will be an excellent fit for our programs. We look forward to teaching them to be highly qualified internists!"
Conducted annually by the NRMP, The Match uses a computerized algorithm designed to the best results by aligning the preferences of applicants with the preferences of residency programs. The results are used to fill thousands of training positions available in the United States.
The UofL Internal Medicine Residency Program completed a perfect match yet again, filling 24 categorical and 12 preliminary positions.
In addition the Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program, under the direction of Laura Workman, M.D., added five new members.
