Match Day 2003

Match Day 2003

During Match Day 2003, held on March 20, graduating Stanford medical student Melanie Watkins (holding letter) finds out which residency program she will be attending, as friend and fellow medical school student Khaliah A. Johnson looks on. Match Day 2003 was a success from the School of Medicine's perspective; 80 percent of Stanford students matched with their first choice and 96 percent matched with one of their first three choices. It was also a success from the perspective of Stanford Hospital & Clinics and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, allowing them to find out who their new residents will be. The hospitals matched for all 156 of their open resident positions, according to Ann Dohn, director of the Office of Graduate Medical Education. The new group comes from top schools nationwide including Stanford, Harvard, Hopkins, Yale and UC-San Francisco. "This was a phenomenal match for us this year," Dohn said.
