Medical students in the University at Buffalo’s Class of 2014 gathered on March 21 for Match Day, an event celebrating the next steps in their medical careers.
Each student received a sealed letter from the National Resident Matching Program. Classmates opened their envelopes simultaneously, revealing where they will pursue their medical residencies.
Family, friends and faculty members joined in the festivities, which took place in Statler City’s Golden Ballroom in downtown Buffalo.
