While students share academic qualifications, it is their individual and unique qualities that add richness and texture to the University.

The UConn School of Medicine and its affiliated hospitals provide the educational and clinical resources for an extensive residency training system. The residency and fellowship programs are part of a multi-hospital network. This network includes the clinical education of medical and dental students, clinical research, and comprehensive primary and specialty care. A patient population base of over one million is drawn from central and northern Connecticut. The full spectrum of medical education experiences, from basic sciences to residency and fellowship education is provided and monitored through the University.

Match Day

Through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), students are assigned to a specific residency training program for the following year. Each year in March, medical schools across the country hold a ceremony known as Match Day where graduating fourth year medical students learn where they will be training in the coming years.
