TAFP celebrates Match Day 2026

Congratulations to all graduating medical students participating in the 2026 National Resident Matching Program Main Residency Match! We can't wait to hear your great news and see all of state's residency programs fill their available positions.

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 incredible specialty of family medicine. 

New residents interested in getting involved with the Academy dedicated to their success should visit TAFP's resident resources for information about TAFP's Student and Resident Summit, TAFP leadership opportunities, travel funding, and more. We also recently featured a number of TAFP members who offered advice for medical students hoping to match into family medicine, as well as for new family medicine residents.
