MD Students to Begin Residency Journeys on Match Day
Match Day is one of the most momentous days in a medical student's journey to becoming a doctor. Match Day is a long-time tradition that is followed by medical schools across the country, where students simultaneously open their envelopes. Each year on the third Friday in March, fourth-year medical students across the country wait in anticipation for the clock to strike Noon. They excitedly open envelopes with their names to learn where they "matched" for the next three to seven years of residency training.
Our medical students will open their envelopes at Noon on March 20, 2026, at the Benton Convention Center in downtown Winston-Salem and celebrate with family, friends and School of Medicine faculty and teammates. The majority of the Class of 2026 entered medical school in July 2022.
