Medical students and their families and well-wishers gathered in the Petersen Events Center on March 16, for the ceremonial opening of the envelopes at Match Day, a national event where fourth-year medical students simultaneously learn where they will be completing their residencies.

Of the 146 51¾«Æ·ÊÓƵ students who matched, 37 will be staying in 51¾«Æ·ÊÓƵsburgh. Two 51¾«Æ·ÊÓƵ records were also broken: 10 students matched in orthopaedics and nine matched in psychiatry, the highest ever for those specialties.

Fifty-seven students, almost 40%, matched in primary care fields, which is close to the 42% of last year’s class.
