An Unmatched Match Day

Published in Aequanimitas - Aequanimitas Summer 2020

Besides being the largest Match Day in National Resident Program Main Residency Program Match history, March 20, 2020 was notable for another reason: the absence of festivities. Gone were the cheers and embraces as fourth-year medical students opened their envelopes. By then, the coronavirus pandemic had begun in earnest. Hence, the life-altering news about where they matched took place virtually. That said, jubilant selfies and social media posts flooded the Osler Medical Residency site.

Worldwide, millions of people have since been diagnosed with COVID-19; hundreds of thousands have died from the disease. Many Osler trainees have been on the front lines of care.

We are delighted to welcome the newly minted M.D.s who matched at The Johns Hopkins Hospital’s Osler Residency Program.
