We are delighted to announce the results of the Department of Medicine 2021 Categorical, Preliminary, Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP), Med-Peds, and Med-Psych Match. We filled all 24 categorical positions, one PSTP position, and four preliminary positions with fantastic candidates. We also filled four Medicine-Pediatrics and two Medicine-Psychiatry spots through the Match.

Our new residents come from geographically diverse locations, representing 17 different medical schools.  The class is outstanding, especially given that the competition for positions was greater this year than ever before.
