Technology and traditions collide

WVU medical students learn their residency placements

It’s the first medical student class in West Virginia University’s history to complete their entire fourth-year of medical training and residency prep during a pandemic. And, on Friday, March 19, those 122 students learned where they would complete the next three to seven years of their training during National Residency Match Day.

Match Day is an event where medical students learn in which U.S. residency programs they will continue their medical training. For WVU’s School of Medicine’s three campuses: Morgantown, Charleston and Martinsburg, the celebration typically unites students, families, faculty members and friends as they unveil their “match.”

This year, in light of social distancing and other restrictions, the event was virtual allowing all our campuses to be linked and families to join us and celebrate.

59% of students matched in primary care specialties.
