Match Day 2025 | UC Davis School of Medicine

116 medical students at UC Davis School of Medicine -- and tens of thousands from across the country — celebrated "Match Day" as they simultaneously learned where they’ll attend residency training after graduation this spring. From this class, 82% will stay in California, two thirds are going into primary care residencies and all 116 eligible students matched.

Residency is an intensive training program that lasts anywhere from three to seven years, depending on the medical specialty. It’s a necessary step on the path to becoming a board-certified physician and Match Day is an unforgettable part of the long journey.

Reading all the congratulations and seeing everyone’s happiness honestly gave me chills! 😭✨ I’m currently a high school senior too, and just like you, I’m dreaming of that moment — the day I open my email and see that I’ve matched to the school I've worked so hard for. 🎯📬

Over the past year, I’ve poured everything into my applications — the long nights writing essays, the nervous energy before hitting 'submit', and all the hopes wrapped into every word. Knowing that people are actually living this dream gives me so much motivation and hope. 💖

To everyone who matched — you are amazing. You inspire me and so many others to keep pushing forward. And to those of us still waiting for our turn — hang in there, our day will come too! 💪🌟

Congrats again to the matched students — you’re paving the way for us! 🚀🎓 #futurehope"**
