46 percent staying in Nebraska, 59 percent matched in primary care

A total of 122 UNMC senior medical students received their residency assignments on March 21 during a Match Day ceremony held on campus.

Forty-six percent of UNMC students are staying in Nebraska for their training, and 59 percent of UNMC students matched in primary care, which includes family medicine, internal medicine, internal medicine/pediatrics, pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology.

A residency is a training program for newly graduated medical students in the medical area of their choice. Residencies range in length from three to six years. 

Students are matched by the National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP) through a computer program to align their preferences for residency programs in order to fill the thousands of training positions available at U.S. teaching hospitals.

The NRMP Main Residency Match results show that 16,399 U.S. medical school seniors have matched to first-year residency positions.

The UNMC students, slated to graduate May 10, are listed by hometown, name, specialty and residency assignment.
