Match Day 2021
Kaweah Health Announces Next Class of Residents
While many know what March madness is, not all know about “match madness.” It’s a time when medical school graduates from around the world learn which residency program they will train in for the next three to seven years
At 1 p.m. on Friday, March 19, also known as Match Day, Kaweah Health announced its next class of residents, who in late June, will begin their residency programs at Kaweah Health. Thousands of candidates interviewed for just 47 spots in Kaweah Health’s six residency programs. On this day, the National Residency Matching program notifies medical students which program they have matched with.
