Kendall Burdick Matches at Her First Choice for Residency: Boston Children's Hospital

At the National Residency Matching Program's Match Day on March 17, 2023 Kendall Burdick, 4th-year medical student in the Population-based Urban and Rural Community Health (PURCH) track, learned that she will be a pediatrics resident at her first choice of programs, Boston Children's Hospital.

Match results are revealed at noon on Match Day when all medical students open the envelopes that tell them where they will undergo residency training. 

Burdick has been active in Baystate Health's community throughout her years in medical school.

She was the impetus behind a child safety initiative at Square One that provided families with electrical outlet covers to help protect children from severe electrical shock and burns.

Burdick also conducted a research study showing that 15 million children can't reach a pediatric trauma center within 60 minutes.
