Match Day results have been posted

One-hundred and eight graduating medical students of the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine learned on March 15, 2019 where they will spend the next three to five years of their lives completing residency training after receiving their medical degrees in May.

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.

A longstanding tradition at medical schools nationwide, Match Day is a highly anticipated event. It is the day when graduating medical students across the nation learn where they will be going as new doctors to receive advanced clinical training in a residency program. At exactly noon on the third Friday in March, students begin opening envelopes telling them if they matched in their first choice program or not.
