Today, Friday, is Match Day, the day when new American medical school graduates and others find out the residency programs to which they have been matched by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
In a usual Match Day, the graduates of most American med schools would gather together, to learn all together where they would be heading later this summer. However this year, many of us are working from home, with large gatherings discouraged if not banned, to prevent the spread of corona virus.
The AAMC put out this announcement earlier this week:
The Match®: 10 things to know as the day draws nigh
...
"A two-stage reveal: On Monday, students learned if they have been matched to a residency via emails that were sent out at 11 a.m. ET. On Friday, they learn specifically where their residencies will be during the Match Day ceremonies (either in-person or online), which start at noon ET across the country, or by emails from the National Resident Matching Program® that go out at 1 p.m. ET. Students can also learn about both results through a mobile device.
"Coronavirus impact: Many schools have made or are weighing changes to Match Day celebrations as the status of the virus outbreak changes in various regions of the country."
