M4's Meet their Match!

It’s the moment Stritch physicians-in-training approach with anticipation and excitement: at exactly 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the third Friday in March, they – along with fourth year medical students (M4s) throughout the world -- learn their residency “match.”  At Stritch, surrounded by family, friends, and the Stritch community, these physicians-in-training open a personalized envelope to see where they will continue their medical training for the next three to seven years. 

This year’s main residency match is the largest in National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP) history with 42,952 applicants who certified a rank order list and 40,375 positions in the Match.  A private, non-profit organization, NRMP administers a mechanism to level the playing field for matching applicant preferences for U.S. residency positions with the preferences of residency program directors.  Learn where the Stritch Class of 2023 matched.
