On the first day of spring, many new beginnings were marked as 124 UNMC medical students received notification of where they had matched — the locations where they will spend the next several years doing their residency.<\/p>\n

An annual tradition, the Match Day ceremony is a chance for students to celebrate with classmates, family and friends as they take the next step in their medical journey.<\/p>\n

The pressure was off for Danielle Thies, who, as a student in UNMC’s accelerated family medicine program, knew before Friday that she had matched at UNMC. But she, her husband, Austin, and their baby daughter, Aubrey, were on hand to celebrate with her classmates.<\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>“I knew when I got into medical school that I wanted to go back to a small town to practice family medicine,” said Thies, who is from Rushville, Neb. “It was important to me to stay in Nebraska.<\/p>\n

It was the second year for the simultaneous envelope openings, which led to gasps, cheers and mass hugging when students learned their destinations at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n

“The students like to open the envelopes with their families, and then it’s fun for us to read them on stage to our classmates,” said Jery Inbarasu, president of the class of 2015. “It’s the best of both worlds.”<\/p>\n

“I feel very thankful,” he said. “And I’m very happy for the rest of my classmates.” <\/p>\n

Emergency medicine assistant professor and residency program director Claudia Barthold, M.D., was at the ceremony to cheer on the students.<\/p>\n

“It’s exciting to see what they’ll be doing and where they’ll end up,” she said, adding that she also likes to be on hand to congratulate the students who match in emergency medicine.<\/p>\n

Students are matched by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) through a computer program to align their preferences for residency programs in order to fill the thousands of training positions available at U.S. teaching hospitals.<\/p>\n

Gerald Moore, M.D., senior associate dean for academic affairs in the College of Medicine, told the crowd that UNMC students had matched in 23 different states, with 54 staying in Nebraska.<\/p>\n

Irina Rozin was nearly shedding joyful tears to learn that she was going to the University of Utah for a residency in obstetrics.<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited,” she said.<\/p>\n
