Annual Match Day on March 18
Fourth-year Medical Students Will Learn Where They Will Do Hospital Residencies

The future of fourth-year students at the two allopathic medical schools of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) will be decided during the annual National Resident Match Day ceremonies on Thursday, March 18, at the Newark, New Brunswick and Camden campuses.

At an emotionally-charged ceremony at noon at UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School in Newark and UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick and Camden, more than 250 anxious future physicians will learn where they will begin their internships following graduation in May.

This same scene will be replicated at medical schools throughout the nation as part of National Resident Matching Program, which is based in Washington, D.C. The program matches student requests--compiled in order of choice--to residency openings at hospitals nationwide.
