LUBBOCK – About 40 fourth-year students from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine will see what their future holds on Thursday (March 17) as they participate in Match Day. The opening of sealed envelopes will take place at 11 a.m. in Room 2B152 at the Health Sciences Center, 3601 Fourth St.
On Match Day, medical students across the country find out where they will serve their residencies for the next three to five years. The results are opened simultaneously at all of the nation’s medical schools.
Match Day is the culmination of an eight-month process in which students are matched with residency programs in the United States and Canada. Months before Match Day, students begin applying to residency programs in their preferred specialty.
Students visit sites to evaluate and ultimately rank their preferred residency programs. At the same time, administrators at each site interview applicants and rank them as well. The National Residency Match Program coordinates this process and makes the final match.
