residency matches vs. graduates

[fika00]

I am a little confused. I am looking at the list that shows the hospitals that students were matched for residencies. There are only about 778 places on the list. Does this mean that when a hospital is listed once- more than one student went there, or does it mean that many people got residencies outside the US, back in home countries? So- are there about 4,000 graduates in these 778 places, give or take? (Between 1997 and 2002) Thanks, kind of a dumb question, but I'm curious thanks
