Match Day is the culmination of the annual National Resident Matching Program, which pairs fourth-year medical students with residency programs across the U.S. After earning a medical degree, physicians train for another three to seven years as residents.
Sahifah Ansari, 2024 class president for Baylor College of Medicine’s School of Medicine, began her Match Day speech with a big smile as she looked at her family, teachers, mentors and classmates. She invoked the word privilege more than once to describe how she felt.
Six months into her first year of medical school, Nasim Khalfe and her classmates at Baylor College of Medicine faced the unprecedented prospect of training to be doctors during a pandemic.
Fourth-year medical students at Baylor College of Medicine did not let a pandemic stop them from safely celebrating Match Day 2021. Match Day, held Friday, March 19, at medical schools across the country, marks the culmination of the annual National Resident Matching Program that pairs fourth-year medical students with residency programs throughout the nation.
