Match Results

After four years of determination and hard work in medical school, 51 graduating students learned where they will spend the next three to six years of their medical training.  The Rockford students matched in 15 specialties.

Match Day was held at 11:15 a.m., Friday, March 16 at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford. The announcements were made in the Partners’ Pavilion located in the new addition at the Parkview Campus.  Medical students from all 126 medical schools across the country heard their match results at the same time.

Matching students with residency programs is a computerized process, through which medical students rank their preferred residency programs, while residency programs rank their preferred applicants. Students may choose from one of 15 medical specialties, including family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine and ophthalmology.
 
The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford is located at 1601 Parkview Avenue and has served the area since 1971 as a regional academic health science center.
