TAFP celebrates Match Day 2024

Congratulations to all graduating medical students participating in the 2024 National Resident Matching Program Main Residency Match, and especially those who matched into family medicine residency programs here in Texas. Nationwide, this was another banner year for family medicine, as 4,595 medical students and graduates matched to family medicine residency programs. Check out AAFP’s Match Day news report for the latest.

TAFP President Terrance Hines, MD, posted a video on Instagram congratulating all graduating medical students taking the next step to becoming the next generation of family physicians. “Matching into family medicine is not just a career choice, it’s about joining a tight-knit community dedicated to the well-being of patients and families across Texas and beyond,” he said. “Your impact will ripple through generations, shaping the health and happiness of countless individuals."

Welcoming new residents in training to the “family” of family medicine is among the greatest joys for the members and leaders of TAFP. We hope everyone enjoys their Match Day celebrations. If you matched to family medicine this year, tag TAFP in your social media posts and we will be sure to share your exciting news.

Whether you were in the inaugural class of the Match in 1952, or plan to match into family medicine in the next few years, the excitement of Match Day is contagious and undeniable. It’s a day of exhilarating anticipation and a time for all to celebrate the specialty of family medicine.
