Match Day 2019 in photos

The University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine celebrated Match Day on Friday, March 15. A total of 136 students in the college participated in the match through the National Residency Matching Program, and 35 percent of those students will receive their training in Iowa.

The “match” happens when the nation’s residency programs make their ranked choices of medical students and the nation’s fourth-year medical students make their ranked choices of residency programs. All those choices confidentially go to the National Residency Matching Program where computers make sense of it all. In complete secrecy, the matches are distributed a few days ahead of Match Day to the nation’s medical schools and revealed to everyone at one time.
