| A match made in medicine |
|
On Friday, March 15, the Class of 2019 gathered with family and friends in the Bryan Williams, M.D. Student Center to find out where they had been matched for residency. At the sound of a buzzer, the gym erupted with cheers as the fourth-year students discovered where they will be spending the next few years for medical training! Alumni Relations sponsored a Match Day photo booth so all attendees could commemorate the exciting occasion with a picture.
