Matthew Joy pins a marker on the location of his residency. Joy will remain in Roanoke for his residency in surgery at Carilion Clinic.

It was a day of great anticipation. The charter class of the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine passed Match Day with flying colors. Each of the 40 fourth-year students learned they had matched with one of their requested residency programs. Matches included some of the county's most prestigious programs. The school's charter class will graduate May 10.

Dean Cynda Johnson told the students, "We have relished the past four years with you, and we proudly send you on the next leg of your training."
An old friend showed up to surprise the students. He is actually Dr. Mark "Elf" Greenawald, former associate dean for student affairs.
