    The Importance of Match Day

    Match Day marks the culmination of a rigorous and highly competitive residency placement process through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). On this day, graduating medical students across the United States and Canada learn where they will continue their training as resident physicians.

    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.
