Pitt Med students celebrate Match Day

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 Pitt students who matched, 37 will be staying in Pittsburgh. Two Pitt 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.
