University of Louisville School of Medicine fourth-year medical students had a lot to celebrate March 15th for Match Day. The highlight of Match Day is when prospective medical residents open their envelopes from the National Residency Match Program to discover where they have been matched for their future training as residents.

The Match is conducted annually by the NRMP and uses a computerized algorithm that aligns the preferences of applicants with the preferences of residency programs. These results are then used to fill thousands of training positions all throughout the United States.

“I am deeply pleased with this talented class of future residents and wish them all the best of luck in their pursuits wherever they matched.” said Jeffrey Bumpous, MD, interim dean for the School of Medicine.

This year’s Match Day was held at Angel’s Envy Bourbon Club at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium. The event was attended by approximately 600 people excited to see where our future residents would match.

“Match Day marks a pivotal milestone,” said Umair Bhutto, 2024 class president. “It is a real testament to our hard work, and we now stand on the threshold of our futures. I am grateful I get to witness my peers as they discover where they will be during the next step in their medical journey.”

Congratulations to all our medical students who matched on match day! The University of Louisville School of Medicine is so proud and wishes you all the best of luck in your future endeavors both in medical residency and in your future careers.
