Those who want to view Match Day 2021 at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine can watch a live stream on the college’s Facebook page, @usacollegeofmed.

Match Day is set for Friday, March 19, at 11 a.m. at the USA Student Center Ballroom, when fourth-year medical students will find out where they will train as resident physicians. The event is approved to be held in person by the USA Reopening Committee on the condition that it be limited to the members of the Class of 2021 and the staff necessary to facilitate the ceremony.

At the event, the students will take turns announcing their placements and pin the geographical locations on a map on stage. 

Last year, USA medical students celebrated virtually when they matched in 23 states, with 42 students matching out-of-state and 23 matching within Alabama.
