117 UNMC Medical Students Receive Residency Training Assignments Through Match Day Program

A total of 117 senior medical school students at the University of Nebraska

Medical Center College of Medicine have received their residency assignments

through the National Senior Match Day program. Senior Match Day is an annual

event held at the exact same time at UNMC and other U.S. medical schools. 

Residencies generally last from three to five years and allow the newly-graduated

physicians to specialize in an area of medicine, such as internal medicine,

family medicine, surgery or obstetrics and gynecology.

The residency matching system began in 1952, placed 15,132 U.S. medical

students this year into residencies in medical specialties. Under the program,

students list several places they would like to train, and then are matched

through a computerized national system.

About 95 percent of the UNMC class received one of their top three residency

assignments of choice. About 70 percent received their top choice. Sixty-three

percent of the class, 70 seniors, were placed in primary care residencies

this year, including 33 of the 42 seniors who will do residencies at UNMC

or at a Lincoln-based family practice program affiliated with UNMC.

Primary care includes family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics

and obstetrics/gynecology.

Seniors who will graduate May 5, are listed by hometown, name, specialty

and residency assignment.
