Match Day
A Pivotal Milestone
Each year, we celebrate this annual nationwide event known as Match Day, when our students open envelopes to learn where they will complete their residencies, the next step in their medical education.
Nationally Renowned Residency Programs
Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School had 153 graduating seniors participate in the Match processes for 2026. Many members of the class will fulfill their residencies at nationally renowned schools and hospitals, including the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Brown University/Rhode Island Hospital, New York University Grossman School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Baylor College of Medicine, and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia. Among these students, 50 (33%) matched to a New Jersey program, with 31 (20%) matching to a Rutgers residency program.
