Residency matches announced for graduating medical students
Online Staff Report
After four years of determination and hard work in medical school, graduating students learned where they will spend the next three to six years of their medical training.
Match Day was held at 11:15 a.m., Friday, March 15, at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford. Medical students from all 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 from the Rockford campus matched in 15 medical specialties, including family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine and plastic surgery.
The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford is at 1601 Parkview Ave., and has served the area since 1971 as a regional academic health science center.
