Match Day the Liberty Way
March 11, 2023Every third Friday of March marks the day graduating medical students receive their “match,” which designates where they will be training for residency. Residency programs typically last between 3 and 7 years before permitting medical students to obtain a medical license. Students are encouraged to compile a list of the highly desired specialties they would like to participate in — whether orthopedics, endocrinology, or one of the many other options — at their desired location.
