Next to graduation, the biggest day in the life of a medical student is what�s known as �Match Day.� That�s the day students are �matched� with a hospital or clinic where they will continue their medical training, or residency.

Students from Michigan State University�s College of Human Medicine will take part in this year�s Match Day festivities at noon Thursday, March 18, in the Fireplace Room of the University Club.

About 20 of these soon-to-graduate students will be on hand for the event, which is often emotional, usually boisterous and always photogenic. Please note the event starts at noon sharp.

The University Club is located at 3435 Forest Road, south of the MSU campus.
