When the clock struck noon on Friday, March 16, 2018, students in the inaugural Class of 2018 opened their envelopes to learn where they will be headed for residency training and the next step of their medical careers. Every student in WMed's inaugural class matched to a residency slot as part of a national process that is increasingly competitive. They will be completing their residency training at locations across the U.S. in specialties ranging from Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine to Orthopaedic Surgery and Pediatrics.
