"Match Madness" was in full effect on St. Patrick's Day for fourth-year medical students at the University of Louisville.
March 17 was Match Day at UofL, and elsewhere nationwide, as they opened their envelopes from the National Residency Match Program to find where they had been matched for their future training as residents.
"I am pleased to announce a very successful match for the Internal Medicine Residency Program!" Jennifer Koch, M.D., FACP, Director of the UofL Internal Medicine Residency Program said. "I am excited to train this excellent group of physicians. They are a diverse and accomplished group of people who will have a lot to add to our residency program."
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 13 preliminary positions.
In addition the Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program, under the direction of Laura Workman, M.D., added five new members.
"I am so excited to welcome this group into our residency program," Workman said. "They are all truly excellent candidates and I look forward to working with each of them over the next four years."
