UCSF School of Medicine Match Day 2024 Celebrates Mentorship and Service
UCSF medical students holding signs sharing where they matched for residency
On March 15th, Koret Quad on UCSF’s Mission Bay campus in San Francisco reverberated with the sounds of hastily opened envelopes and cheers of excitement and joy. Family and friends joined 168 soon-to-be UCSF graduates to celebrate Match Day, the pivotal moment when medical students learn where they will be continuing their medical training journey in residency.
This year, 73% of UCSF students matched into residency programs in the state of California, and 30% of students matched at UCSF. Thirty-two percent matched into a primary care specialty. This year’s top five specialties included internal medicine, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, psychiatry, and dermatology.
