VTCSOM Match Day 2021

The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine's Class of 2021 was able to come together for Match Day in-person, though current public health and university guidelines had to be followed. Attendance was limited to the class and a small number of faculty and staff members. While most in attendance have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, attendees still adhered to public health recommendations by wearing face coverings and physically distancing themselves throughout the Shaftman Auditorium at the Jefferson Center in downtown Roanoke, Virginia.

Of the 38 members of the class set to graduate in May, 36 are headed for residency programs near and far across the country. They will go into programs representing 18 specialties in 18 states, and 31 different academic health centers.

The most represented specialties in the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine’s class of 2021 include obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, and pediatrics.

This year, two members of the class opted to pursue research fellowships instead of going directly to residency. The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine has a robust research curriculum, with research serving as one of the core value domains at the medical school, giving students extensive experience in basic science and clinical research opportunities.
