During Match Day 2022 in mid-March, 27 graduating students from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine matched into several Surgery-related residency programs. Of those 27, University of Kentucky residency programs welcomed 13 of those students, including one match to the recently established UK General Surgery Residency Program in Bowling Green.

General surgery residency programs attracted a significant number of UK medical students this year. In addition to five matching into UK General Surgery programs as either a categorical or preliminary intern, UK medical students were also welcomed into programs in Texas, New York City, Cincinnati, and North Carolina.

According to Dr. Emily Marcinkowski, 4th Year Course Director for the Department of Surgery's Education Program, the nine medical students who matched into General Surgery programs also got their top choice.

"I am so incredibly proud of these students.  We had nine wanting general surgery and not only did all of them match, they matched into their top choice. Proud is an understatement.  I cannot wait to see all they will accomplish and am honored to have been a part of it," Dr. Marcinkowski said.

Anesthesiology programs attracted nine UK students, four of which matched to the UK residency program. Other UK residency programs to match with local medical students included the Oral Surgery Residency in the UK College of Dentistry and the Neurological Surgery program.

 Two other medical students matched into Orthopedic Surgery residency programs at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and at the University of Arizona at Phoenix.
