The
Match Game
Im
getting a little nervous now, a young woman confided to her
companions. Would they start already?! There were
more heart palpitations in Stemmler Halls Dunlop Auditorium
on March 17 than in the cardiology wing at HUP. On Match Day, medical
students across the country, including about 150 at Penn, learned
where they had been accepted for residencies. With friends cheering
them on, students were called one-by-one to the stage to pick up sealed
envelopes containing answers about the next stage of their medical
education. Judging by the enthusiasm that followed, the prognoses
were very good. (Above, Tamu Brown M04 expresses glee when a
friends name is called.)
