Dear UW GME Community,
Even as we focus intently on the immediate needs of our community and patients in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also look to the future!
Today, is Match Day for the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Main Residency Match – an opportunity to celebrate the bright future of medicine and to welcome 291 new members to our University of Washington School of Medicine GME community.
We wish to acknowledge the immense effort of ALL of our residents, fellows, faculty and staff during the recruitment season – and your year-round efforts to create and contribute to a highly sought-after learning environment!

We will be communicating with them directly in short order to provide information about anticipated concerns and to ease their transition in whatever way we can. We will also be updating the Incoming Residents and Fellows page on the this website as new information is available:
Congratulations to all! We hope you will pause for a moment with your teams to acknowledge this wonderful annual milestone.
