The medical students opened their envelopes at 11 a.m. CDT, discovering their future specialties and residency training locations.

98 students in Jacksonville, Florida; Phoenix, Arizona; and Rochester, Minnesota, participated in the match at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. Students will go on to residencies at Mayo Clinic and across the country in specialties such as neurosurgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and emergency medicine.

Match Day, held on the third Friday in March, is when medical school students and graduates from the U.S. and worldwide learn which U.S. residency program they will train at for the next three to seven years. A physician can practice independently when residency is completed and all boards have been passed.
