Doctor, meet

your new home

On Thursday at UC Irvine, 87 medical students discovered where

they would spend the next three to seven years of their training.

It was the end of a process dating back to November, when

graduating medical students submit lists to the National Resident

Matching Program about where they would like to do their hospital

residencies. On Match Day, held every March on the patio outside the

UC Irvine School of Medicine, students learn if their choices worked

out.

* One girl was transferred and another suspended from Ensign

Intermediate School after they were caught possessing a replica gun

near school grounds. Police, after receiving a call from an Ensign

parent, located the two girls near the school and confiscated the

item, which was a metal-cast replica of a pistol and not a

functioning weapon.

Police are still investigating whether the girls carried the

replica onto school grounds, or if they brandished it before other

students. No criminal report has been filed on the incident.
