Match Day 2023 festivities were hosted in the Academic Rotunda by Dean of UConn School of Medicine Dr. Bruce T. Liang and Associate Dean for Medical Student Affairs Dr. Melissa Held.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the first time since COVID-19\u2019s outbreak, the excitement of national Match Day returned in-person to UConn School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

At the stroke of noon on March 17, 110 soon-to-be UConn-produced doctors in the Class of 2023, the largest class in the School\u2019s history, excitedly and anxiously gathered with their faculty mentors, family, and friends and ripped open their white envelopes to learn their residency training destinies for the next several years in hospitals spanning from Connecticut to California.<\/p>\n

This national Match Day, the Class of 2023 had 110 students successfully placed in residency positions. This is a high match rate of 99%, with 38% of medical students going into primary care fields, 30% staying in Connecticut, 57% remaining in New England, and 18% staying elsewhere in the Northeast. Twenty-two percent are staying at UConn for residency training.<\/p>\n
