Match Day '04
The Medical Alumni Association welcomes its newest members from the Class of 2004. This July they begin their training programs. The locations and residencies were revealed on Thursday, March 18 at the annual celebration held in Davidge Hall. The event, which includes a post-match luncheon at the Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbor Hotel, is sponsored by the Medical Alumni Association through the generosity of Morton D. Kramer, ’55 and his late wife Carol. This year’s class is attending 103 programs in 27 states. Roughly 67% of the class has left the region, with 22% remaining at the University of Maryland. Perhaps the most noticeable change from last year is the decrease in those headed into pediatrics. While 24 graduates matched in pediatric training last year, only nine are doing so this year. Primary care (internal medicine, emergency medicine, family medicine and pediatrics) accounts for 43% of the 2004 Maryland graduates, compared to last year’s 53% figure.
