Congratulations to the Class of 2013 for a successful match! UTMB takes great pride in your acceptance into the prestigious programs and competitive specialties around the country. I want to thank every member of the UTMB community who helped our students reach this milestone in their medical education.
Match Day is the culmination of a complex process conducted by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) which pairs graduating medical students with residency programs across the U.S. During this year’s ceremony at Levin Hall, over 200 seniors opened their envelopes before excited family and friends to learn where they will live and train in the coming years (see Match Day photos and video).
The match results are available here. I am particularly pleased that all 130 residency positions at our university were filled, a testament to our outstanding educational programs. UTMB continues a positive trend in producing physicians entering primary care. See match statistics below:
- 219 seniors were eligible to go through the match this year, 95 females and 124 males;
- 202 students will enter residency training in 2013 (includes 8 military matches). Seventeen (17) have other plans (fellowship, research, undecided, etc.);
- Based on 202 graduates entering residencies this coming July:
- 58 percent of our students are remaining in Texas-based residency programs;
Please join me in wishing the Class of 2013 all the best in the next phase of their medical training.
Sincerely yours,
Danny O. Jacobs, MD, MPH, FACS
