THE MATCH - National Resident Matching Program

Match Day is the culmination of four challenging years, and, in some ways, is the most exciting day of the medical school experience. Every year at a predetermined time, medical students across the country learn simultaneously which hospital will educate them for the next three to seven years.

Up until Match Day, senior medical students complete numerous applications and interviews at the residencies of their choice. They rank the places where they would like to continue their medical training. The residency programs in turn rank the applicants and the National Resident Matching Program produced the computer-generated matches.

For the 2025 Match, 152 LSU Health Shreveport School of Medicine students learned where they will go to complete their residency training during the annual Match Day celebration.

“We are pleased that so many of our students achieved the milestone of matching allowing them to progress in their goal of becoming practicing physicians. I offer these students my heartfelt congratulations. I also want to express deep appreciation to our faculty and staff who invested in these future physicians as their guidance and support are essential to student success.” stated David Guzick, MD, PhD, Chancellor & Dean of the LSUHS School of Medicine.
