They joined their fellow students at WVU in Morgantown and the WVU Eastern Campus and medical students nationwide, where Match Day is the culmination of many years of hard work. Many students consider it the most exciting day of the medical school experience. Up until Match Day, final-year medical students complete numerous applications and interviews at specialty residency programs of their choice. Students rank the places where they would like to continue their medical training. The residency programs, in turn, rank the applicants. The information is entered into the National Resident Matching Program which uses a Nobel Prize in Economics algorithm to produce a list of "matches." WVU's Match Day Celebration allows the graduating class to be joined by family, and live streaming on social media allows friends and family, faculty, staff, administrators, and fellow students to share in the excitement. At Noon, envelopes are unveiled and drawn randomly, and each student opens their letter to share the news with family, and then in real time can choose to step to the podium and announce where their residency program will begin. At the WVU Charleston campus, third year medical students held a live-streaming watch party to join in the excitement for their fourth-year colleagues, as they look forward to this important day they will be experiencing for themselves a year from now.    Wed, 26 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -04002025-03-26T16:12:37-04:00bf78709d-e149-4882-af08-3df01a52a302https://www.hsc.wvu.edu/news/story?headline=dr-preston-seaberg-named-assistant-dean-for-undergraduate-medical-education-at-wvu-s-school-of-medicPreston Seaberg, MD, FACP has been named Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Medical Education at West Virginia University's School of Medicine Charleston Campus.   Dr. Seaberg is an assistant professor in the department of internal medicine, where he is a generalist and, currently, an associate program director.  "Despite being busy with the IM residency, Dr. Seaberg has always found time to engage with important school of medicine committees, such as CAPS, and to engage with our medical students, who are often effusive when discussing Dr. Seaberg," said Dr. James R.
