Community Action Day: Deepening Community Bonds and Fostering Future Health Care Leaders
American University of the Caribbean (AUC)’s long-standing Community Action Day is a celebration of service, learning, and community collaboration.
In 2018, 37,103 medical school seniors and graduates entered the U.S. National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) to compete for a post-graduate residency position.
Many physicians dream of coming home after medical school to serve the communities where they grew up. These are just a few AUC grads who are putting that dream into practice.
Curtis Norwick, MD ’18 matched into a psychiatry residency program at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia, Michigan—just half an hour away from his hometown of Farmington Hills.
AUC celebrated more than 300 residency matches on Friday, March 16—one of the largest Match Days on record for the university. The revelation began moments after 1:00 pm ET, when graduates received an email from the National Resident Matching Program.
Ayesha Siddiqa and Iqra Nawaz pre-matched into internal medicine at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where they have been completing clinical rotations for the past year. The offers came within a month of each other.
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.
