Congratulations! We received almost 300 applications this year, and we invited sixty-one applicants to interview for our six radiology residency positions.

"Match Day" is part of "Match Week." In January and February, the residency applicants and residency programs all submitted their Rank Order Lists of preferred programs or applicants to the NRMP. Then they waited for the match results, which were announced during Match Week. On Monday, the applicants found out whether or not they recieved a match. On Tuesday, residency programs were informed how many, if any, positions were unfilled in the match. Then the unmatched applicants and unfilled programs "scrambled" to find matches. Fortunately, the UAMS Radiology Department did not have to scramble; all of our positions were filled in the main match. On Wednesday, the program directors discovered which residents matched with their own program, but that information was not disclosed to the new residents until Match Day (Thursday). Read more about the excitement of Match Day in an article on the main UAMS website.

These students will begin their internship year at UAMS this summer 2004. After they complete their internship (also called a categorical year), they will become residents in July 2005. We look forward to working with you!
