RESIDENCY MATCH
SUCCESS
THE JOURNEY TO MATCH DAY
After four years of rigorous medical training at UAG School of Medicine, students devote countless hours to studying, volunteering, shadowing, conducting research, and gaining hands-on experience through real-world clinical exposure. All of this effort culminates in the exciting moment of Match Day—the day when medical students discover where they will continue their training as resident physicians.
This highly competitive and structured process is facilitated by organizations such as the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and involves medical students applying to various residency programs across the country.
