Event:
From day one freshman year, medical students anticipate and look forward with trepidation to National Match Day, this Thursday.

Graduating medical students from Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, as well as other medical schools across the country, will learn whether and where they’re moving to begin practicing medicine; an emotional climax to their medical education.

More than 200 senior medical students from Jefferson will gather at the medical school with friends and family Thursday morning to tear open personal “matching letters” and discover which hospital they have been placed with, to begin their careers. These placements define the course of medicine and patient care in the coming years.
