A total of 140 senior medical students at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, learned about their residency assignments March 15 during an event at the Scott Conference Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. 

  The 2024 Main Residency Match® -- referred to as Match Day -- is an annual rite of passage for medical students, a day when students across the country learn where they will train for the next three to seven years, depending on the medical area of their choice. Students are matched through a computer program to align their preferences for residency programs to fill the thousands of training positions available at U.S. teaching hospitals.  

Forty-one percent of UNMC students are staying in Nebraska for their training, with 56 of those at UNMC. Sixty-one percent matched in primary care, which includes family medicine, internal medicine, internal medicine/geriatrics, internal medicine/pediatrics, pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology.  

Nationally, there were 41,503 residency positions. 

The UNMC medical students, slated to graduate in May, are listed below by their hometown, name, specialty, and location of residency assignment. Some students have chosen not to have their names released to the public.
