Match Day returns in style for UofL residency programs

The party returned in 2022 for Match Day at UofL

After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Match Day party returned for fourth-year medical students at the University of Louisville, and it was a successful day for the UofL Internal Medicine Residency and Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency programs.

"We have all made the absolute best out of a challenging situation – residency recruitment during a pandemic," Jennifer Koch, M.D., director of the UofL Internal Medicine Residency Program said. "I am so pleased to see the hard work of our program and of our applicants pay off!  We couldn’t be more excited to welcome this new class of interns."

Added Laura Workman, M.D., director of the Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program, "We are thrilled to welcome our newest class of med-peds interns. They are a wonderful group and we are excited to work with them over the next four years!"

March 18 was the annual 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.

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.

"We have matched an outstanding group of students to our program. We can’t wait until they are here in July – it is going to be a great year!" Jennifer Olges, M.D., incoming Internal Medicine Residency Program director said.
