Medical students match into residencies

University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine students who completed their clinical education at the College of Community Health Sciences were selected for residencies across the United States.

Clinical education consists of the third and fourth years of medical school.

The medical students learned of their residency placements during a commemorative event in March, held in conjunction with the release of the National Resident Matching Program results. Residencies provide in-depth training within a specific discipline of medicine.

Four of the medical students matched into The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency Program, which is operated by CCHS.

The 31 medical students matched into residencies in 14 different states. Of those, nine matched in family medicine, five in pediatrics, four in internal medicine and two students each matched into medicine-pediatrics, neurology, ophthalmology and psychiatry. In addition, one student each matched into diagnostic radiology, emergency medicine, orthopedic surgery, surgery and thoracic surgery.

CCHS is a regional campus of the UAB Heersink School of Medicine.
