It’s officially Match Week, the time when medical students around the country prepare to learn where they will be doing residency. The week culminates in Match Day on Friday, March 16 with the reveal of participants’ residency placement. For AUC students, the news comes in the form of an email at 1:00pm ET from the National Resident Matching Program. While the wait to Friday can feel agonizing, Match Day is one of the most anticipated and exciting day in students’ medical career.
