Match Lists 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Most, but not all, of our graduates go on to do residencies.   Those who do choose additional clinical training do extremely well, typically matching at their top choice programs in outstanding academic medical centers.   (See the 2008,2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 match lists below).

While residency is the most common next step for most of our graduates, doing a residency should not be an automatic decision. Choosing to spend 3-5 (or more) years in further clinical training can be the right choice if you will be doing patient-oriented research or will be working in an environment where you will have clinical responsibilities, but for some a postdoc without additional clinical training may be a better choice.
