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.
