A total of 117 senior medical school students at the University of Nebraska
Medical Center College of Medicine have received their residency assignments
in 27 states through the National Resident Matching Program. The program,
a private, not-for-profit corporation, was established in 1952 to provide
a uniform date of appointment to residency positions. Residencies last
from three to five years and allow newly-graduated physicians to specialize
in an area of medicine.
Each year, the program conducts the match designed to optimize the rank
ordered choices of students and medical program. Match Day is an annual
event held at the exact same time at UNMC and other U.S. medical schools.
Since 1995, UNMC has had an average of 60 percent students enter primary
care residencies for their first year of training. This year, 79 students
or 68 percent of the class placed in primary care, which includes family
medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics and those
who will ultimately train in specialties of dermatology, radiography and
anesthesiology. This year, 32 percent of graduates placed in specialties
of surgery, neurosurgery and orthopedics.
Of 117 students, 48 (41 percent) are staying in Nebraska and 44 (38
percent) will do residencies through UNMC, including at Nebraska Health
System’s Clarkson Hospital and a Lincoln-based family practice program
affiliated with UNMC.
Seniors who will graduate May 11, are listed by hometown, name, specialty
and residency assignment.
