SCRANTON, Pennsylvania — On March 17, soon-to-be graduates of Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine learned their residency placements during the National Resident Matching Program’s “Match Day,” an event at which all fourth-year M.D. students around the country simultaneously open their envelopes to learn where they will spend the next three to seven years training in their chosen specialty.
Among the students who matched was Ashley Rekem of Westfield, who matched into psychiatry at U Rochester/Strong Memorial-NY.
