It's a Match!

For the SOM Class of 2019 – and for thousands of fourth year medical students across the country – it was a day they will long remember. Friday, March 15, was Match Day in America, the day when graduating medical students learned where they ‘matched’ to their first jobs as physicians. In all, 153 SOM students matched into internships and/or residency programs this year. Of those, 90 students will continue their training in primary care disciplines and 57 students will train in NJ programs. Others matched in programs that include Dartmouth, Thomas Jefferson, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins and in such competitive disciplines as anesthesiology, dermatology and neurological surgery.
