Match Day is a rite of passage for medical students from around the globe as they learn who has been selected for which U.S. residency program to start the next chapter of medical training.
This year, the UQ-Ochsner MD Program received a 97% match rate through the National Residency Match Program – exceeding the average national match rate of 93.5% for U.S. medical schools.
This marks the thirteenth consecutive year that our Medical School’s match rate has been 90% or above.
Nearly 52,500 applicants participated in this year’s national match program. Results were announced March 21.
Professor Leonardo Seoane, MD, FACP, executive vice president and chief academic officer, Ochsner Health said the incredible achievements of our students on Match Day highlights our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and our remarkable partnerships.
