UK Medical Students Reveal Match Day Results During Annual Ceremony

Match Day. For most people outside the everyday world of medicine and medical education the words may not be familiar or illicit much emotion. But for about thousands of graduating medical students across the United States -- including 125 at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine -- the day means their future written inside an envelope. On Friday, March 15, UK’s fourth-year medical students gathered with family and friends at the Keeneland Entertainment Center at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington. At exactly noon, students began their way one by one to center stage – to the tune of their predetermined theme song – to open their envelope and reveal where they “matched “ and will be spending the next few years completing their medical training.
