For medical students, the annual Match Day event is one of the most anticipated and exciting days of their medical education\u00a0as they discover\u00a0where they will start their residency training after graduation.\u00a0\u00a0At this year's Match Day, 83 fourth-year\u00a0students at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine joined nearly 17,000 U.S. allopathic seniors and more than 9,000 other applicants to match\u00a0at one of the more than 27,000 first-year positions offered in the 2015 Match*.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are blessed to attract outstanding students to Geisel and are very proud of their success during the residency match,\u201d said Duane Compton, Interim Dean of the Geisel School of Medicine. \u00a0\u201cI know that\u00a0they will\u00a0do well in their residency training and I\u00a0wish them all the best of luck in\u00a0their medical careers.\"<\/p>\n

Every year, fourth-year medical students submit their top choices for residency programs into a computer program operated by the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC). Residency programs also submit lists of applicants in their order of preference. The lists are then compared against each other utilizing the AAMC's computer algorithm, matching students to their residency program.<\/p>\n

\"I think it's a little more important than graduation because this is the day where we find out what our hard work has led to,\u201d said Geisel student Katherine Jackson<\/a>. \u201cAll of our schooling and grades and applications and interviews and how people think about us as a person is represented by the envelope we open.\"<\/p>\n

Primary care was once again the most popular specialty choice among Geisel students with 32 choosing residencies in family medicine, internal medicine or pediatrics. Obstetrics and gynecology, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and radiology were the next most popular specialties. This year California was the most popular destination for Geisel students, followed by New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatch Day is a singular experience,\u201d said student Chris Beeler. \u201cIt was an emotional rollercoaster but it was a really fun day.\u201d<\/p>\n
