Medical students match with residencies

April 3, 2024

The University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine students who completed their clinical education at UA’s College of Community Health Sciences were selected for residency programs across the country.

CCHS serves as a regional campus of the UAB Heersink School of Medicine in the education of medical students, and clinical education consists of the third and fourth years of medical school.

The students learned of their residency placements during a commemorative event in March with the release of the National Resident Matching Program results.

Residencies provide in-depth training within a specific discipline of medicine.

The 32 medical students matched into residences in 11 different states.

“I am very proud of this incredible cohort of learners and their success in the NRMP Match,” said Dr. Dale Dickinson, director of Medical Student Affairs at CCHS. “These students began medical school during the initial height of COVID-19 and had to adapt to a new learning method while largely being separated from one another. This resilient group persevered, learned preclinical coursework and mastered clinical skills. These Match results are a testament to their hard work.”

The 32 students and the types of residencies they matched into: five into family medicine, five into obstetrics and gynecology, five into pediatrics, four into surgery, three into internal medicine, two into emergency medicine, two into neurology and two into anesthesiology. In addition, one student each matched into diagnostic radiology, orthopaedic surgery, psychiatry and physical medicine and rehabilitation.
