On the third Friday of every March \u2014 also known as Match Day \u2014 fourth-year medical students across the United States simultaneously experience a series of emotions that are nearly universal. First, there is nervous anticipation. At 9 a.m., excitement builds as dozens of envelopes are ripped open all at once. Immediately after, shouts of joy erupt as they discover where they will be completing their residency.
\nMarch 15 brought the Keck School of Medicine of USC\u2019s fourth-years to the Harry and Celesta Pappas Quad on the Health Sciences Campus for 2019\u2019s Match Day results. Sona Shah and Nina Gertsvolf, class presidents for this year\u2019s graduates, shared the podium to thank the faculty, staff and administration for their support throughout their time at the Keck School.
\nGertsvolf also took time to thank the patients that they had seen over the years, saying, \u201cYou have taught us how to be compassionate physicians, and how to make meaningful connections with those that we will serve in the future.\u201d
\nShah then chimed in, \u201cThank you to all of our friends and family members. Without your unwavering love, support and encouragement over the past four years, we would not be here today opening these envelopes.\u201d
\nKaren Restifo, MD, JD, associate dean for student affairs, shared that 64 percent of the Keck School students were matched in California and 22 percent will join staff at Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center. Internal medicine is again the top choice of specialty, with 31 students matching in that field.
\nRestifo closed by saying, \u201cAs a school, we are very proud and feel you\u2019ve done incredibly well, and you should just take a moment. It was a lot of hard work on your part. The family and significant others, everyone who supported these students, you should give yourself a pat on the back, because it takes everybody.\u201d She then welcomed USC\u2019s equine mascot Traveler, who delivered the match envelopes.
\nLloyd Camper was exuberant about his match, Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. \u201cMiami was my number one choice because of the way I interviewed there, I really fell in love with the program, and the culture that they are upholding between the residents and the faculty, and you can\u2019t go wrong with a location such as Miami.\u201d
\nTaisha Husbands is originally from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She has been on track to become a physician from an early age, participating in a STEM program from middle school through college. She matched in family medicine at Kaiser Los Angeles, one of her top choices, and said she\u2019s thrilled to be staying in Los Angeles with her fianc\u00e9 Louis Robles, who was in attendance to support her.
\nThe National Resident Matching Program uses a complex algorithm to align the preferences of students with the criteria of teaching hospitals across the country.
