One hundred eight medical students of the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine<\/a> learned today where they will spend the next three to five years of their lives completing residency training after receiving their medical degrees in May.<\/p>\n

A long-standing tradition at medical schools nationwide, Match Day is a highly anticipated event. It is the day that medical students learn where they are heading as new doctors to receive advanced clinical training in a residency program.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by friends and family in the Apollo Room of the Student Union, each student received his or her envelope at noon. Some took a moment to read the match letter privately. Others waited for his or her envelope to be announced by Dean Margaret M. Dunn, M.D.<\/p>\n

In 2018, more than 44,000 applicants vied for more than 33,000 residency positions at institutions nationwide. The 2019 Match is expected to be even larger.<\/p>\n

Depending on where they match, students will spend the next three to five years as residents receiving advanced training in a primary care field or one of dozens of medical specialties. Wright State students matched in outstanding programs in Dayton, throughout Ohio and across the country, including Case Western Reserve\/University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, Emory University and Wake Forest University.<\/p>\n

More than 44 percent of the Wright State graduates will remain in Ohio during residency, and 14 percent will remain in Dayton. More than a third (45.5 percent) will enter a primary care field (Family Medicine: 17.6 percent; Internal Medicine: 13 percent; Pediatrics: 13 percent; and Internal Medicine\/Pediatrics: 1.9 percent). The rest matched in 13 other specialties: Anesthesiology: 5.6 percent; Dermatology: 3.7 percent; Emergency Medicine: 6.5 percent; Neurological Surgery: 1.9 percent; Neurology: 3.7 percent; Obstetrics and Gynecology: 3.7 percent; Ophthalmology: 1.9 percent; Orthopaedic Surgery: 5.6 percent; Pathology: 0.9 percent; Psychiatry: 9.3 percent; Radiology: 2.8 percent; Surgery: 8.3 percent; and Urology: 0.9 percent.<\/p>\n
