Match 2009 Residents, Congratulations |
|
Congratulations to the 2009 UTSW Anesthesiology and Pain Management Match. It was a great success and ended with 15 new outstanding residents added to our family. Thanks to all involved in this years recruitment season.
To view the class of 2013.
More Than One Kind of Match
The matching program uses a computer algorithm to match, as closely as possible, the choices entered by both applicants and the directors of teaching hospitals’ training programs.
For one medical-school senior, Match Day was especially memorable. Julie Contes, a senior at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, stepped forward when her name was called and opened her envelope as her parents and friends looked on. Instead of her placement, it contained a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Johnny Gibbs, a medical resident in Fort Worth who had traveled to the ceremony to surprise her.
“I was crying and shaking, and I dropped the paper,” Ms. Contes said. Then, when he emerged from the crowd and got down on his knees, she said yes.
A few minutes later, she was handed another envelope, which informed her that she had been placed in a residency program at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. “It was the only anesthesiology position that would allow me to be near him, and it was my top choice," she said. "What an unbelievable day.”
