UK medical students learn where they will practice medicine at Match Day
LEXINGTON, NORTHERN KY, BOWLING GREEN A medical school tradition, the Match Day ceremonies take place simultaneously at noon Eastern Daylight Time the same day every year at medical schools across the country. The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) pairs the wishes of the students with the needs of hospitals’ residency programs. Match Day is for students in the graduating class to announce the location of their residency program, celebrate their futures as doctors and reflect on the past four years at the University of Kentucky. Across all four of UK’s College of Medicine campuses, 176 smiling students learned where they will begin practicing medicine.
