The Wayne State University School of Medicine's Class of 2014 medical students learned where they will begin their residency training during the annual Match Day ceremony held Friday at The MGM Grand in Detroit. The local event follows the protocol of the National Resident Matching Program, a private non-profit corporation established in 1952 to provide a uniform date of appointment to positions of graduate medical education in the United States. Sealed envelopes containing all U.S. medical students' graduate medical education assignments, including specialty and location of residency, are delivered and opened throughout the country simultaneously. WSU's students have a historically high match success rate, and many remain in Michigan for their residency. In 2013, 98.5 percent of WSU students matched with residencies, and nearly 53 percent of those residences were in Michigan - good news for a state with a projected physician shortage.
