On Match Day this spring, 147 medical students matched into 66 different institutions and 19 different specialties. Approximately 37% chose to pursue a residency in Kentucky, aligning with the College of Medicine’s mission of training more physicians to address the state’s shortage and advance health care in the Commonwealth.
