FLORIDA STATE MEDICAL STUDENTS TO MEET THEIR MATCH

On Friday, members of the Florida State University College of Medicine Class of 2018 will find out where they will receive residency training — a defining moment in their medical careers — during a Match Day ceremony.

 The students will simultaneously open envelopes, learning for the first time where they will spend the next several years completing training in the medical specialty they will practice.

Graduating students at M.D.-granting medical schools across the United States receive their match information at the same time through the National Resident Matching Program, the primary system that matches applicants to residency programs with available positions at teaching hospitals in the United States.

The ceremony will take place:

FRIDAY, MARCH 16

NOON

RUBY DIAMOND CONCERT HALL

WESTCOTT BUILDING, 222 S. COPELAND ST.

FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA


The ceremony can also be viewed online. Visit http://med.fsu.edu/matchday for parking and map information, as well as details about the webcast.
