At UT Health and Baylor, more than 200 medical students will learn where they will spend the next three to seven years.
It starts with a basket full of envelopes that contain the names of fourth-year medical students and the residency programs they have "matched" into.
These matches are a result of an interview process during which both students and programs rank each other in order of preference; then in a lottery of sorts, a computer algorithm decides who ends up where.
