On March 16, 213 graduating University of Minnesota Medical School students each opened a small envelope containing big news: the site of their residencies.

Here are some highlights of this year’s Match Day, a national rite of passage that happens at the same time at medical schools across the country:

97 graduating University of Minnesota Medical School students matched to 12 locations across the state.
41 students will stay at the University of Minnesota for their residencies.
38 students matched in family medicine and another 36 matched in internal medicine.
22 students — about 10 percent of the graduating class — will complete residencies in emergency medicine.
