University of Medicine and Health Sciences Celebrates Historic Match Day for Graduating Students

NEW YORK, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Medicine and Health Sciences (UMHS), a small, mission-driven medical school with a commitment to student success and a legacy of successful residency placements in the United States and Canada, proudly celebrates another historic Match Day. In the 2025 National Residency Match, UMHS applicants secured positions in prestigious residency programs throughout North America, continuing a tradition of excellence that has led to a 93% overall match rate since the university's founding.

UMHS graduates earned residency placements across all six core specialties: internal medicine, family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, pediatrics, and surgery. They also matched into highly sought-after specialties, including anesthesiology, emergency medicine, neurology, diagnostic radiology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and transitional year programs. Placements spanned 25 U.S. states, with additional assignments in Puerto Rico and three in Canada. Graduates will continue training at prestigious institutions such as Yale University, the University of Virginia, West Virginia University, Penn State, Florida State, and Morehouse School of Medicine.

"This year's Match results are a powerful testament to the resilience, talent, and drive of our students," said UMHS President Warren Ross. "They are entering the next chapter of their medical journey equipped with the clinical skills, compassion, and adaptability needed to thrive in a fast-evolving healthcare environment. At UMHS, we are committed to educating uniquely skilled and diverse medical professionals who are prepared to serve patients in a wide range of communities—from major urban centers to underserved rural areas. We look forward to seeing our graduates advance that mission with excellence, empathy, and purpose."

During their final year at UMHS, students apply for post-graduate residency positions at top teaching hospitals across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada. Upon graduation, they begin their internship year as fully qualified Doctors of Medicine (M.D.), joining their North American peers in rigorous and diverse residency training programs.

UMHS's commitment to its students extends well beyond graduation. Through the UMHS Alumni Association, the university fosters professional growth, mentorship, and lifelong connections. With the recent launch of the UMHS Alumni Website, graduates can now easily stay connected with peers, access networking opportunities, and engage with the broader UMHS community. Alumni also retain access to the UMHS Ross Library, offering full support for clinical information, medical journals, and research tools during residency and beyond.
