Class of 2012 Match Day
10:00 am, DuVal Auditorium
For four years, students at the University of Arizona College of Medicine have worked toward “Match Day” – the day they learn where they will spend the next several years as resident-physicians. Members of the Class of 2012 will receive traditional Match Day sealed envelopes, which contain letters showing where students will spend the next several years as resident-physicians. UA medical students will participate in the complex process that matches the nation’s graduating medical students’ preferences with program preferences. Match Day ceremonies are coordinated to occur on the same date at the same time throughout the country.
* Students must arrive by 8:30 am and go to the steps under the Life Science North building for class and specialty photos.
* From here you will go to DuVal Auditorium where you will pick up your regalia, purchase diploma frames, class rings, turn in any paperwork, and return the #1 key you received your first year.
* Doors open for your family and guests at 9:00 am.
* Pay parking is available at the UMC Patient/Visitor garage or the Highland Garage on Vine and Helen. We are unable to validate parking in the UMC Garage.
* 10:00 THE CEREMONY BEGINS - your name will be called randomly, go up on stage, collect your envelope, pull the next one, announce that name into the mic, collect your beverage, then go back to your friends and family to open your envelope. After all the names have been called, we will announce specialties alphabetically, come on stage when yours is called, announce into the mic where you are going, then pin that location on a large map that will be on stage. After all specialties have been called, there will be a few closing remarks, then we are all done.
* The event should end at approximately 11:30
