On Thursday, March 19, the Class of 2009 gathered in Billings Auditorium to open their Match Day envelopes to find out where they will be pursuing residency. “I am thrilled for the many successes of our students—both today in the Match and for the numerous successes that are yet to come,” said Holly Humphrey, MD, Professor of Medicine and Dean for Medical Education at Pritzker.
“I’m thrilled and relieved that this day is finally here and my match is everything I had been hoping for! It was a great four years, and Pritzker really prepared me well for this next step.”
—Stephanie Donald, MS4
This year, nearly 30,000 medical students participated in the Match, a record number in the history of the residency application process. Of our Pritzker graduates, a large percentage will be pursuing further training in Internal Medicine, with many also choosing Pediatrics, Orthopaedic Surgery, and General Surgery programs.
Congratulations, Class of 2009!
