| BACKGROUND: |
During this rite of passage, University of Minnesota fourth-year medical students find out where they will study as residents – becoming official doctors-in-training. At 11 a.m., students will open envelopes to discover for the first time which hospital or program they’ve been accepted to complete their residency training. The occasion is marked with family and friends sharing shouts of excitement, tears of joy, and students frantically calling their friends to share the good news. Each of hundreds of students, who will graduate with their M.D. May 2, 2009, has a unique story. Many of them will gladly share their stories before they move on to tackle the next step in their medical careers. |
