Internal Medicine and Pediatrics won the popularity contest as 55 seniors in the MD Class of 2017 at the University of Hawaii medical school “matched” into post-medical school MD training programs today. Coming in a close third was Surgery, with Psychiatry, at fourth place, on its heels.
The John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) Match Day Ceremony kicked off at the coffee-fueled hour of six o’clock in the morning. At that same moment, the clocks in other time zones around the country read later hours, but all of America’s medical school seniors did the same thing: they gathered to experience “The Match.”
