NEW YORK (PRWEB)
March 21, 2023
The University of Medicine and Health Sciences, (UMHS), a small, mission-driven medical school with a commitment to student support and a legacy of successful residency placements in the United States and Canada, celebrated the culmination of four years of medical school with one of the most successful Match Days in the school’s history. Graduating students secured residencies spanning 11 medical specialties across 24 states and territories, including multiple matches in California, Texas, Michigan, and Puerto Rico, and the school’s first matches in Oregon and New Hampshire.
In a message to students, UMHS President Warren Ross celebrated the 2023 Match Results, noting that students secured residencies in highly coveted programs at top-notch teaching hospitals. UMHS students entering this year’s Match earned residency positions in primary care specialties spanning internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, as well as specialized programs including emergency medicine, pathology, anesthesiology, neurology, and diagnostic radiology.
“Congratulations to this year’s graduates on the best Match Day in our school’s history,” said Ross. “The quality of programs our students matched into is vast and impressive, including our first residency at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, the Mayo Clinic in Florida, Tulane University, and Albert Einstein in Pennsylvania! Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off. Congratulations!”
Many of the students from UMHS have followed a non-traditional path on their journey to becoming a doctor and have overcome significant obstacles on their way to becoming practicing physicians. This year’s graduates faced additional hurdles since the Covid-19 pandemic erupted while many students were studying basic science on the UMHS campus on the island of St. Kitts. While the world went into isolation, the students continued their studies remotely, completed clinical rotations during multiple Covid surges, and persevered through challenging circumstances.
“The wide breadth of UMHS students’ achievements in acquiring residencies in unusually challenging times demonstrates the grit, determination, and medical aptitude of this graduating class,” said Ross. “We wish them all the best as they continue their journey to becoming highly skilled and compassionate physicians.”
