What is National Residency Match Day?
National Residency Match Day is a significant event in the lives of medical students. This day marks the culmination of a long journey for students who have applied for residency programs in their chosen specialties. On Match Day, medical students find out where they will spend the next phase of their training—residency—by receiving their residency placement match results. It’s a moment of immense excitement, anticipation, and new beginnings as students transition from medical school into the next chapter of their medical careers.
Recognizing Match Day with Gold Humanism Honor Society
During Match Day, the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) recognizes its members and their leadership in humanism in healthcare, which will help shape the future of medicine.
Medicine is much more than clinical expertise. Kind, safe, trustworthy care also requires connecting with patients. As GHHS members receive their matches, we encourage them to carry the spirit of humanism onward to residency and their future patients.
Celebrate Match Day with Us
As we join in the excitement of Match Day, we invite GHHS members to reflect on the Gold values of humanism in healthcare that binds us together. Whether you’re a student, resident, faculty member, or physician, Match Day is an opportunity to honor the path that each individual has taken and their next step in caring for patients with humanism.

Let’s celebrate this milestone, not only as a career achievement but as a reminder of the human connection that underpins everything we do in medicine.
Congratulations to all who match this year!
And to those who did not match, we see you. Medicine still needs your passion, your compassion, and your commitment to care. This journey is far from over, and your path to making a difference is just beginning.
