Jaclyn Marrinan spent a year in West Africa fighting the Ebola outbreak. Now, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to redefine society\u2019s new normal, the UCF medical student learned Friday she\u2019ll do her residency training at Harvard\u2019s Boston Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n

Marrinan was one of 120 College of Medicine students who virtually experienced their long-awaited Match Day, learning where they will spend the next three to seven years of residency training, with 117 matching and three pursuing a year of research. UCF\u2019s 97.5 percent match rate again exceeded the national average<\/a> \u2014 this year at 93.7 percent.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 canceled UCF\u2019s traditional Match Day ceremony, where students open their residency envelopes in front of family, friends, faculty and staff on the College of Medicine\u2019s Tavistock Green. Marrinan and thousands of other medical students across the nation received their results via email.<\/p>\n

Despite her disappointment in missing the match event, Marrinan says her experience as a junior epidemiologist for the World Health Organization\u2019s Ebola response team gave her perspective.<\/p>\n

Forty-four UCF medical students are staying in Florida. Others are going to programs that include Harvard, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, Vanderbilt and Yale.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI often think about what Dr. Peter Piot, who was a very pivotal scientist during the original Ebola response, said during the last outbreak,\u201d she says. \u201cHe said people should really fear the next airborne epidemic. And here we are. It makes me really brainstorm how my future career in critical care is going to incorporate epidemiology.\u201d<\/p>\n

For their graduate medical education, UCF students are going to outstanding programs across the state and nation. Forty-four are staying in Florida for all or part of their training. This includes 12 at UCF-HCA residencies in Central Florida, four at Orlando Health, two at Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital and one at AdventHealth. Nationwide, students are going to programs that include Brown, Georgetown, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, Vanderbilt and Yale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an extraordinary Match Day,\u201d says Deborah German, vice president for health affairs and dean of the College of Medicine. \u201cIt was different from the other matches we\u2019ve celebrated. But I hope as time goes on, our students will look at COVID-19\u2019s role in their match as a part of their history. Because medicine\u00a0is always about dealing with the unexpected \u2014 and putting the safety of all as our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social Distancing Celebrations<\/strong><\/div>\n

Without a College of Medicine event, students created their own social distancing celebrations. Alex Cronkite and his significant other, third-year student Heather Kraft (pictured above left), printed out his match result without looking at it, placed it in an envelope, decorated the house and put out food. Then they FaceTimed all of their family and friends. Cronkite opened his envelope and shared the news: He got his first choice, UCLA for head and neck surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew that Match Day wasn\u2019t going to be what we imagined.\u00a0 But like I told the students, it will be a day we will never forget \u2014 a story we will tell for a lifetime.\u201d \u2014 Lacie Turnbull<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI feel like the luckiest person in the world,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m originally from Los Angeles, so being able to train at an amazing program like UCLA while being close by my family, I couldn\u2019t be happier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cronkite was a baseball pitcher in high school and college and says head and neck surgery reminds him of working with others on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurgery is like a team sport,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s something intangible about the operating room that makes me incredibly happy. There are so many members of the surgical team that all work selflessly toward the ultimate goal of exceptional patient care, to make them whole again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monet Winslow\u2019s match result was also a team effort in multiple ways. She will do her pediatrics residency at Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital in Lake Nona \u2014 her first choice. It\u2019s where her UCF College of Medicine \u201cbig sister\u201d and mentor, Laura Chilcutt, is finishing her first year of residency. The two talked often about training together. And staying in Orlando means Winslow\u2019s family is still nearby in South Florida. That\u2019s especially important because she and her husband have a new baby. The entire clan was together as Winslow opened her cell phone \u2014 packaged in her own \u201cmatch envelope\u201d \u2014 to retrieve her Match Day result email.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m over the moon. I and can\u2019t stop smiling,\u201d she says. \u201cMy mom, dad and sisters came up to visit and celebrate. And my husband and 1-month-old baby girl, Aniyah, are here with me. We were screaming so much we actually scared the baby a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lacie Turnbull matched into orthopedic surgery at the University of Florida\u2019s Shands Hospital. Orthopedic surgery is a highly competitive specialty for match, and during medical school, Turnbull has been an advocate for getting more women into the specialty. \u201cOrthopedics is about restoring anatomy, restoring function, restoring movement, and it really is the opportunity to restore people\u2019s lives,\u201d she says. \u201cThere are only about 6 percent of practicing orthopedic surgeons who are women, so I think I can really make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

As class president, Turnbull had led all the student\u2019s Match Day plans before the coronavirus canceled the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew that Match Day wasn\u2019t going to be what we imagined,\u201d she says. \u201cBut like I told the students, it will be a day we will never forget \u2014 a story we will tell for a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
