In Rockford and across the nation, graduating medical students found out where they will spend the next three to seven years of their medical training at 11:15 a.m. on Friday, March 15.
Forty-six students from the Class of 2019 at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford matched into residency programs in 14 specialties in 19 different states.
