The Importance of Match Day

UMHS students have proudly participated in the residency Match each year since 2011, achieving a 93% overall residency placement rate across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. These outcomes reflect the strength of our academic preparation, personalized faculty mentorship, and dedicated residency advising support.
We invite you to explore last year’s Match results and learn more about our graduates who have successfully secured residency positions across North America.
