124 UNMC medical students learned residency assignments on Match Day
A total of 124 senior medical students at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, learned about their residency assignments March 20 during an event at the Omaha Design Center. The 2026 Main Residency Match® -- referred to as Match Day -- is an annual rite of passage for medical students, a day when students across the country learn where they will train for the next three to seven years, depending on the medical area of their choice. Students are matched through a computer program to align their preferences for residency programs to fill the thousands of training positions available at U.S. teaching hospitals.
Thirty-four percent of UNMC medical students are staying in Nebraska for their training, with 31% at UNMC. Fifty-three percent matched in primary care, which includes family medicine, internal medicine, internal medicine/pediatrics, medicine-preliminary, medicine-psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics.
Nationally, there were 44,344 residency positions.
The UNMC medical students, slated to graduate in May, are listed below by their hometown, name, specialty, and location of residency assignment. Some students have chosen not to have their names and match results released to the public. The hometowns listed are Nebraska communities unless otherwise stated.
