University of Minnesota Family Medicine Match Results 2018

Two fourth-year medical students waiting to open their
envelopes at the 2018 Match Ceremony

On Friday, March 16, graduating University of Minnesota medical students gathered with family and friends at McNamara Alumni Center to find out where they will begin their residency.

Match Day is an important date shared by medical students across the country. Students receive an official letter from the National Residency Match Program (NRMP), letting them know which residency, and in what city, they will start their medical training.

We are proud to say that this year was a success for all U of M family medicine residency programs.
