Residency Match Results
A professional and academic milestone, Match Day marks the transition from medical student to physician in training. The nationwide event is part of the National Resident Matching Program, which places fourth-year medical students into residency programs through an algorithm that aligns their preferences.
Each year, Dell Medical School’s graduating students continue their medical training in a broad range of residency programs across the country.

More About Match Day
Yes. Resident and fellow physicians have received their M.D. or D.O. (doctor of osteopathic medicine). Residencies and fellowships provide training within a specific specialty or subspecialty.
In their fourth year of medical school, students apply to and interview with residency programs. After interviews conclude, students rank their top three programs. At the same time, programs rank interviewees. If both a program and student rank each other — it’s a match! Learn more about the process from the National Residency Matching Program.
A medical degree. An undergraduate medical education learner is a medical student yet to receive their medical degree. A graduate medical education trainee is a physician with an M.D. or D.O. who is continuing their training to become an attending physician.
Residents have completed medical school and are continuing their medical training in a specialty program, like emergency medicine or psychiatry. Fellows have completed their residencies and are pursuing further training in a subspecialty, like pediatric emergency medicine or addiction psychiatry.
