Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine Student, Naomi Francois of Nesconset Celebrates Successful Match Day

On March 17, soon-to-be graduates of Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine (Geisinger Commonwealth) learned about 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 Naomi Francois of Nesconset, who matched into MedicinePreliminary at SUNY HSC Brooklyn-NY to be followed by Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Rochester Regional Health/Unity Hosp-NY.

“We are proud of the success of our Class of 2023,” said Julie Byerley, M.D., M.P.H., president and dean of the Geisinger Commonwealth and executive vice president and chief academic officer, Geisinger. “Our students matched into excellent local residency programs, as well as some of the most competitive and prestigious programs and specialties in the nation. I am pleased that 16 students matched at Geisinger. I am also happy to note that the 15 Abigail Geisinger Scholars in the Class of 2023 matched - and all will eventually work as Geisinger physicians serving our communities.
