Fourth-year medical students from the University of Alabama School of Medicine Tuscaloosa Regional Campus learned March 18 through the National Resident Matching Program where they will train for the next three to seven years for their graduate medical education. The 30 students were among the thousands across the country who entered into the Main Residency Match and received residency placements. These fourth-year medical students have received their clinical education at the College of Community Health Sciences, which also functions as a regional campus for the School of Medicine, headquartered in Birmingham. Two Tuscaloosa campus students—Russell Guin and Elizabeth Junkin—matched into the College’s Family Medicine Residency. Five other students placed in family medicine. Altogether, students were placed at residencies across 10 states.
