A total of 104 senior medical students at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine have received their residency assignments in 26 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, which last from three to five years and allow newly-graduated physicians to specialize in an area of medicine.
Match Day, an annual event held at the same time at medical schools nationwide, is designed to optimize the rank ordered choices of students in medical programs. Since 1995, UNMC has had an average of 60 percent of students entering a primary care residency for their first year of training. This year, just over 59 percent of the class placed in primary care, which are considered family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics. In their second year of training, some students will begin training in the specialties of anesthesiology, dermatology, otolaryngology and radiology.
Of the 104 students, 37 percent are staying in Nebraska for their training program. Thirty-five percent will do residencies through UNMC, The Nebraska Medical Centers Clarkson Hospital or a Lincoln-based family practice program affiliated with UNMC.
The students, who will graduate May 14, are listed by hometown, name, specialty and residency assignment.
