Congratulations on your Residency Match,  Class of 2019!!!

A huge congratulations to the Class of 2019 for matching to their residencies yesterday. This match day was the largest in history with more than 30,000 students nationwide, matching to first-year residency positions and 76.9% of those students, matching to one of their top three choices.

Many of our Promise Clinic Student Doctors and Steering Committee members crossed this milestone yesterday surrounded by family, partners, friends, and the same classmates who walked into Eric B. Chandler with them on the first day of clinic their M1 year. We've loved seeing them grow from hesitant and nervous M1s to confident and competent M4s.

Thank you all for dedicating a part of your four years in medical school to Promise Clinic and we are excited to see where your journey leads you and what change you inspire in the world in the upcoming years.
