By Staff Reporter, Mobile Register, Mar. 19, 1998.
With the tear of an envelope, seniors at the
University of South
Alabama's College of Medicine found out Wednesday where they will
spend the next part of their medical training.
At the annual Match Day'' event at the Brookley
Conference
Center, 56 senior medical students learned where they had
been
accepted to residency programs. They opened their letters
at approximately
11 a.m. the same moment medical students across the
country read
the news.
After a June 14 graduation, USA students will
go on to a residency,
a three- to six-year training period that focuses on a particular
medical discipline.
The National Residency Matching Program paired
USA students
with hospitals from California to Virginia, including the
prestigious
Mayo Grad School of Medicine in Rochester, Minn.
This year, 65 percent of the USA students chose
residencies
in primary care fields.
