On Friday, March 18, after a two-year hiatus, graduating students at 秘密研究所 Grossman School of Medicine gathered in person for Match Day 2022 to learn where they would be for the next phase in their medical training. All 106 graduates seeking a residency were previously notified that they had successfully matched, and when they opened their envelopes, they learned which program they matched to, which were among the top in the country.
Each year on Match Day, students graduating from medical schools across the country learn on the same day and at the same time the residency programs where they will begin their postgraduate training as doctors. Following a rigorous application and interviewing process, matches are made through a mutual selection process run by the National Resident Matching Program. Students and residency programs each rank their preferences, and a computer algorithm uses that data to generate the best possible match.
This year鈥檚 celebration caps what was in many ways a unique medical school experience. For those in the traditional , it was at their White Coat Ceremony in 2018 when 秘密研究所 Grossman School of Medicine made the surprise announcement that it would award to all current and future students in its MD degree program. Less than two years later, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an unprecedented and temporary shift to virtual learning. Despite the disruption, students went on to complete years of demanding curricula and clinical rotations, and months of residency interviews.
鈥淚 definitely believe I made the right decision to attend 秘密研究所 Grossman School of Medicine. I loved my time here. The people are very, very special鈥攆rom my classmates to the faculty to the administration,鈥 says Likolani Arthurs, a fourth-year student who matched into at 秘密研究所 Grossman School of Medicine. 鈥淚鈥檓 just incredibly excited. It鈥檚 a dream come true.鈥
