Match Day

A group of fourth-year medical students celebrate and hold signs depicting where they matched for residency.

Congratulations! You’ve made it through four years of intensive classes, rigorous clinical experiences, and the high-pressure residency application season. Now it’s time to discover where you’ll be headed for the next exciting phase of your medical career: residency!

Med students across the nation celebrate Match Day each March, but at VUSM, we take this milestone to the next level. At 11 a.m., all our med students gather in Langford Auditorium and are called one by one to the stage to open their envelope containing their Match results and announce their placement to a cheering audience of friends and family.
