OHSU medical students learn today where they'll train, part of ...

Medical students across the country have to be a little anxious this morning.

In a complex math that matches graduating med students with residency programs across the country, they learn where they'll be studying for the next three of four years.

Welcome to "Match Day."?

Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine students are among those learning their future. They pick up envelopes with their name and destination at 9 a.m. today.

A student has some say in the matter. They've interviewed and listed their preferences or programs. The National Residency Matching Program does the rest, and says that 85 percent of medical students get matched to one of their top three choices.

Some of them might be staying at OHSU, which has 66 slots available in its residency training program.

So, here are some quick facts about the future doctors of the world, according to OHSU:?

* 4,571 applications for 66 slots in OHSU's primary care residency program, specifically:

* 1067 applicants for 12 spots in Family Medicine

* 902 applicants for eight spots in Family Medicine Cascade East

* 914 applicants for 13 spots in Pediatrics

* 1,688 applicants for 33 spots in Internal Medicine

* 121 medical students will graduate from the OHSU School of Medicine in 2012.

* OHSU ranks 10th in the nation for in-state retention of physicians who complete their residencies at OHSU.

* Nearly half of all OHSU medical school graduates end up practicing in Oregon.
