Later that week on Fri ., March 17 , GLMS staff headed to the University of Louisville campus to attend the annual Match Day ceremony . With emotions running high ( nerves , excitement and so much more !) for fourth-year medical students , they kept their eyes on the clock as it neared the crucial 12:00 p . m . time . Minutes before noon , they lined up to receive their envelopes that would tell them where they ’ d be completing the next steps in their training . Seconds after the countdown , following a rustling of papers , the room was filled with screams and tears of joy , plenty of jumping and hugging in excitement , and choruses of “ I did it !”
It ’ s a Match !
As the screen began to roll with students ’ photos and their Match locations , they cheered for their fellow classmates and their accomplishments over the last four years . On behalf of GLMS , we are so excited to see what the future holds for all of you and are looking forward to seeing many of your faces for a few more years as you complete your residencies and / or fellowships at UofL !

Finally , on Mon . March 20 , we brought back one of our signature GLMS events , Specialty Speed Networking . This event offers first- and second-year UofL medical students the opportunity to engage in “ speed networking ” to get to know different specialties in small groups , hearing first-hand accounts from each physician . Lively discussions filled the room all evening and the hustle and bustle of switching specialties every eight minutes allowed for the many questions the students had for physicians .
Searching for a Specialty
This year ’ s event had physician representatives from anesthesiology , emergency medicine , dermatology , OB-GYN , otolaryngology , pediatrics , psychiatry , pediatric cardiology and internal medicine and was very well received and attended . Read more about what the students had to say about this event on page 16 .
In the coming year , we are planning many more events to cater to all members and your interests and to meet you where you are . To the right you can see some of the exciting opportunities we have coming up in the next few months and make sure to keep an eye out in our communications for even more to come ! We hope to see you there !
