RESIDENCY MATCHES ANNOUNCED FOR GRADUATING MEDICAL STUDENTS
After four years of determination and hard work in medical school, 52 graduating students learned where they will spend the next three to six years of their medical training. The Rockford students matched in all 13 specialties in 18 states.
Match Day was held at 11:15 a.m., Thursday, March 18 at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford. The announcements were made in the Partners’ Pavilion located in the new addition at the Parkview Campus. Medical students from all 126 medical schools across the country heard their match results at the same time.
Matching students with residency programs is a computerized process, through which medical students rank their preferred residency programs, while residency programs rank their preferred applicants. Students may choose from one of 13 medical specialties, including family practice, internal medicine, emergency medicine and dermatology.
The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford is located at 1601 Parkview Avenue and has served the area since 1971 as a regional academic health science center.
