Match 2015

A few minutes after noon on Friday, March 20, the Harkness ballroom reverberated with screams of delight, high fives, fist bumps, and hugs as members of the Class of 2015 learned where they’d be spending the next few years in their residencies. The 107 students in this year’s graduating class are among the more than 41,000 residency applicants who made this year’s match the largest ever, according to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The NRMP attributes the growth—more than 600 over last year—on rising medical school enrollments and the establishment of new medical schools. Almost 17,000 students matched to first-year positions, with 51.6 percent matching to their first choice.

California emerged as a popular destination among Yale students, with 23 headed there, many of them to hospitals in the University of California system. Massachusetts also lured 25 students to hospitals in Boston and Cambridge. Twenty six remained in New Haven at Yale-New Haven Hospital. The most popular specialty was internal medicine, with 24 students entering that field.
