EVENT:
More than 200 senior medical students from Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University are probably hoping that “the luck of the Irish” will be with them, since the day they learn if they got their first choice for a medical residency falls on St. Patrick’s Day. 

Jefferson medical students, along with students from all other medical schools in the nation, will reach an emotional climax in their medical education on National Match Day. They will simultaneously open notices of placement and discover what hospital they have matched with to pursue their future education upon graduation. These placements will define the course of medicine and patient care in the coming years.

GUESTS:
Students will be in the company of friends and family as they receive the letters “matching” them to the hospital they will spend the next one to seven years of their lives in postgraduate medical training.
